The story

The story behind Dr Mcgillicuddy

Dr Mcgillicuddy was built by Seagram in the 1980s and picked up by Sazerac in 1989, which still owns the brand today. The old-timey label with the fictional Dr. Aloysius Percival McGillicuddy and its established 1865 tagline is pure marketing, and we have never pretended otherwise behind the counter.

The cordials themselves are sweetened liqueurs: a neutral spirit base, heavy sugar, flavoring, and no barrel time at all. The flagship Mentholmint leans on real mint oil for that cold snap on the finish. We have sold these bottles for decades to people who want a shot that tastes like something, and we sell them the same way now.

Good to know

Dr Mcgillicuddy questions, answered

Who owns Dr McGillicuddy?
Sazerac owns Dr Mcgillicuddy and has since 1989, when it acquired the brand from Seagram. Seagram created the line in the 1980s. The fictional Dr. Aloysius Percival McGillicuddy and the established 1865 tagline are marketing inventions, not real history.
What is Dr McGillicuddy Mentholmint?
Mentholmint is the flagship mint schnapps cordial, made with real mint oil for a strong cooling finish. It is a sweetened liqueur on a neutral spirit base with no barrel aging. Serve it ice cold as a shot or splash it into hot chocolate.
Is Dr McGillicuddy a whiskey?
The cordial line is not whiskey. These are sweetened liqueurs built on neutral spirit with sugar and flavoring. The brand did add a separate 60 proof flavored whiskey line in 2016, which is a different product from the cordials we stock.
How much does Dr McGillicuddy cost?
It sits in the value tier. Our Mentholmint 50mL is $0.99, Apple Pie 1L is $22.99, and Raw Vanilla and Root Beer liters are $23.99 each. Standard 750mL bottles generally retail $15 to $22 depending on state and flavor.
