Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Old Mr. Boston was a distillery located at 1010 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts from 1933 to 1986. It produced its own label of gin, bourbon, rum, and brandies, as well as a few cordials and liqueurs. The distillery was founded in the Roxbury, Massachusetts neighborhood of Boston in 1933 by Irwin Red Benjamin and Hyman C. Berkowitz. Old Mister Boston was known for its collectible bottles such as the 1953 Presidential Inaugural Bottle. Over time, through a series of changes of ownership, the words Old and Mr. were dropped from the name until it was known simply as Boston. The distillery was a major employer in the Boston area from the 1930s until its closing circa 1986 when the parent company, Glenmore Distillers, shut down operations and the brand vanished. The building that housed Old Mr. Boston's operations is now owned by the City of Boston and is in use as a City Inspectional Services headquarters.
