The brand changed hands several times over the decades, spending years under Brown-Forman's ownership before being acquired by the Sazerac Company on March 1, 2016. Notably, for much of the post-Prohibition era, the liqueur was produced using neutral grain spirit rather than actual whiskey. In 2017, Sazerac restored whiskey as the base spirit, returning to a formulation closer to Heron's original vision.

This technique regulates bacteria growth and maintains consistent pH levels, producing a more controlled and flavorful distillate. The whiskey base is then flavored with natural wild strawberry and tangy citrus, resulting in a liqueur that retains genuine whiskey character beneath its fruit-driven profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild strawberry leads immediately, bright and candy-like, followed by subtle citrus peel and faint sour mash undertones.

The distillery operates out of a repurposed historic building and has built its reputation on grain-to-glass production using organic ingredients. O.C.G. stands for \"Old Country Goodness,\" and the Cherry expression takes the original apple cider liqueur concept a step further by incorporating Montmorency cherries—the signature tart cherry varietal of Michigan's orchard country. The base spirit is Journeyman's own unaged white whiskey, which provides a clean, grainy backbone rather than the neutral character of a vodka or grain spirit.
