George A Dickel & Co. listed from 1874-1915. The Cascade Distillery was established ca. 1866. It was located near Gage Creek a few miles from Tullhoma in Coffee County, TN. In 1888, V. E. Schwab purchased an interest in the distillery from Matthew Sims and McLin H Davis. By 1898, he was sole proprietor. V. E. Schwab was initially an employee of George A Dickel & Co., a wine and liquor store in Nashville that listed at 2 N Market as early as 1874. Schwab later became Geo. Dickel's partner and brother-in-law. Geo. A Dickel & Co. bottled the product of the Cascade distillery and distributed it; George is reported to have dubbed the whiskey as being "Mellow as Moonlight". Geo.
