National Dayton Whiskey Day commemorates the inception of the distinctive Dayton-style category of whiskey, marked by the debut of "Craftsmanship," a single barrel reserve whiskey crafted by Dayton Barrel Works in collaboration with H. Gerstner & Sons, on April 10, 2024.

National Dayton Whiskey Day timeline
Dayton lore has it that the Gerstner family owned a downtown Dayton bar prior to prohibition, and then a cooperage.
Young and enterprising Harry Gerstner used the scraps of white oak from the barrels to build his first tool chest, and his business – H. Gerstner & Sons.
As word of Gerstner craftsmanship spread, the new family business began shipping chests all over the country, and then the world. The recipe for success was simple – skilled craftsmen, quality materials, and a Dayton Industrial Style that remains the benchmark for wood chests.
Founded on the banks of a former canal that dates back centuries in buildings constructed during prohibition, Dayton Barrel Works Artisan Distillery taps into the history of Dayton to create unique and inviting spirits.
The master craftsmen at Dayton Barrel Works have embraced this rich legacy, giving life to "Craftsmanship: Single Barrel Reserve Whiskey." Distilled in the entrepreneurial spirit of Harry Gerstner, this entirely original Dayton-style whiskey embodies the essence of craftsmanship, resonating with those who believe in its enduring legacy, and that Craftsmanship Lives.
