Madam Pattirini, a.k.a. Brigham Morris Young, was the 35th child of Brigham Young. In 1885, after returning from a second church mission in Hawaii, B. Morris Young performed and sand all over Utah as a woman. Madam Pattirini's falsetto was so convincing many in the audience did not realize she was a man. Madam Pattirini Gin celebrates that Utah is a little wilder than many people think!

I stopped by the Ogden's Own Distillery last week to check out their latest spirits.

They are famous for the Five Wives vodkas and the Porter Rockwell picture on their whisky bottles. They have a new Gin out that I really like called Madam Pattirini. The label on the back:

He served a mission to Hawaii and started the Young Men's program for the LDS church. Shortly after returning from his second mission with his wife Armeda Snow, a daughter of Lorenzo Snow, and his son Lorenzo Snow Young, Morris began publicly performing as a cross-dressing opera singer under the pseudonym Madam Pattirini. Apparently she had an amazing falsetto. Madame Pattirini preformed in wards and stakes throughout Utah. I find it interesting that the church welcomed her in their buildings and enjoyed her performances.
