3799 Bourbon
2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Pittsburgh's Award-Winning 3799 Bourbon
3799 Bourbon is our signature small-batch bourbon, handcrafted from grain to glass at McLaughlin Distillery in Sewickley, PA, just outside Pittsburgh. Made from a 100% corn mash bill and bottled at 90 proof, 3799 delivers the smooth, rich character that has made it one of the defining spirits of our veteran-owned Pennsylvania distillery.
One of the things that sets 3799 apart is the oak. Our barrels are made from northern-grown oak, where shorter growing seasons produce tighter grain and more growth rings per inch. As the bourbon ages, that wood helps develop the smooth caramel, vanilla, and almond notes that have become signatures of 3799.
Rich and approachable, 3799 is equally at home neat, on the rocks, or in an Old Fashioned. From milling the grain through distillation, aging, and bottling, every step happens right here at McLaughlin Distillery.
