Gilbert Ryan - not to be confused with his son Gilbert, a musician who played with Jimmie’s Joys, the house band of the St. Anthony Hotel roof garden in the 1920s - spent close to three decades in the spirits trade, on the wholesale and retail sides and in manufacturing for his work as a rectifier, tasting and ensuring the quality of whiskey.
