When Forest Wells traveled west to California in 1865, he was seeking adventure, fame, and a fortune in gold. Sadly, he was ten years late for the gold rush, but what he discovered, instead, was even more valuable.
Drinking, falling down, getting back up again, and fighting. Forest discovered the power of whiskey, and he decided to share his discovery with the world.
By 1865, the world already knew about whiskey, so Forest decided to distill his own brand, made with a special recipe of corn, rye, care, and time. The result was a dusty powder, suitable for making some kind of awful bread, but it was no whiskey.
After realizing he also needed water and fire, along with a complex brewing, distillation, and aging process, Forest didn’t quit, because he didn’t have the intelligence to quit. Forest went the route of so many other private whiskey brands; he went to MGP in Indiana and asked for their help.
Midwestern Grain Products. They assured him they would look after blending and bottling the perfect consumable whiskey that would only make a few people go blind. All Forest had to do was come up with a name and an old timey backstory. The rest is history.
I think old Forest did a pretty good job. So, if you like getting wasted and fighting with the cops, sleeping naked in the playground, or proposing marriage to a stripper you just met, you should be drinking Forest Wells’ Forest Fire and Well Water Whiskey. Invented in 1865, aged 21 years by 1867.
FW’s FF&WW whiskey, for that genuine California gold rush flavor and experience. Poor decisions and mayhem not included, but always supported.
