About Us

Family ties and Appalachian heritage is the foundation and inspiration for our distillery. Nestled in the Laurel Highlands of Somerset County, the Rusty Musket is family and veteran-owned and operated, built by a team of entrepreneurs who all share a love of history, whiskey and the place we call home.

Welcome to the Rusty Musket Distilling Company!

Family, whiskey, and good old-fashioned freedom is what we live by. Family runs through everything we do and where we draw the greatest inspiration. We have taken recipes that have been passed down for generations and draw our roots back to the old Appalachian Moonshiners. Even today’s operations are a family affair! The Brewer and the Henson kids all chip in in any way they can while Kris, Brook, Noah and Sarah are thinking or drinking up new ways to make sure our drinks are neat.

We want each sip of our carefully crafted spirits to transport the drinker back in time, evoke a memory of grandma’s cooking, and leave a taste of nostalgia behind.  

Our goal is to make you to feel at home.  A place where you can relax and enjoy a good drink.

We can’t wait to raise our glasses with you!
