High Wine District


High wine

The product of the first Distillation in a batch or Pot Still process. The High wines are distilled for a second time in the spirit still, or Doubler.

Peoria has a rich history of distillers and brewers. This neighborhood is named for whiskey--the high wine of the spirits world.Thewhiskey barons (Hiram Walker and others) chose to build homes on and near West High Street and West Moss Avenue--the West Bluff of the Illinois River.
PJ gave me a grand tour today.


The two predominant urns are not completely identical.
The one on the left has a female visage.
The one on the right is male, and bears a goatee, I believe.
