Mary's Prescription

The story of the small Tennessee distillery transports us to the 1920s, during American Prohibition. In those times of alcohol restrictions, Mary R., a lover of good whiskey, boldly opened her speakeasy in Chicago, ironically called "Mary's Prescription."

Declaring that alcohol had healing purposes, Mary offered a semi-legal refuge for whiskey lovers. Her establishment became a meeting place for artists, bon vivants and politicians, creating a vibrant space where culture, art and politics were intertwined. Mary's story embodies the resourcefulness of an era marked by rebellion, offering a compelling perspective on the pursuit of forbidden pleasures during American Prohibition.
