Regarding George Dickel & Co.'s Cascade Distillery. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
TheCascade Distillery site is the partial physical remains of a once flourishing whisky distillery operation. Located in a remote section of Coffee County, the distillery was constructed in 1877 on the site of a ca. 1809 water powered gristmill. The distillery contained a stillhouse, cistern room, powerhouse, aging barns and associated facilities. The spring dam, millrace, penstock, and foundations of the stillhouse are extant and are in good condition. The distillery operated until Prohibition. Cascade Distillery was the predecessor of the modern George Dickel distillery located several miles away.
