DETRICK DISTILLING CO. : MOTTO JUG

The Detrick Distilling Company issued a series of miniature "motto" jugs around the turn of the century. They were four inches in height and was atwo-tone stoneware with a slip top and a bristol glaze body.

Detrick Distilling Company issued twelve different mottes. For every purchase a gallon of Detricks Whiskey you would get to choose a one of these mini jugs. Each jug would have a different slogan printed on the jug.

The Motto jug below says "If you try me once you will try me again".
