"An Italian immigrant to Memphis, Domenico Canale established food wholesaler D. Canale & Co. in 1866, selling, among other things, a whiskey he named Old Dominick and a novel bourbon-based cordial called the Dominick Toddy. He passed away in 1919, just three days before the ratification of Prohibition, but his name lives on at Old Dominick Distillery, which is run by his great-great-grandchildren. The state-of-the-art distillery makes spirits like vodka, gin, and Canale’s signature Dominick Toddy, and offers tours, tastings, live musical performances in the barrel room, and a fine-dining restaurant and craft cocktail bar called the Gray Canary."
