Old Crow is named for the inventor of the sour mash process, Dr James C. Crow.

This is the legendary bourbon that was at the centre of one of the most famous whisky quotes ever. After heavy losses at the battle of Shiloh General Grant faced many calls for his head. President Lincoln responded to these calls by saying, "Find out what whiskey he drinks, and send a barrel to my other generals." This bourbon was Old Crow.
