Roxbury Distilling Company
Description
1893-1910
Roxbury Distilling Company produced liquor, most famously Roxbury Rye, from 1893 to 1910. The company’s founder, George T. Gambrill was convicted of fraud in 1910 and the company was shut down. Gambrill’s most famous product, Roxbury Rye, continued to be sold by other whiskey distributors until Prohibition, advertised below by Uncle Sam himself. A sherd of glass found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2010 bears the distillery’s name (pictured below).
