About Bardstown Bourbon Co.
Bardstown Bourbon Company is rewriting the modern bourbon playbook right in the heart of Bardstown, Kentucky, the Bourbon Capital of the World. Born in 2014 and kicking off production in 2016, this distillery blends high-tech craft with historic Kentucky spirits by pushing flavor boundaries while honoring time-tested whiskey traditions. Set on 100 acres of active farmland, this state-of-the-art facility is built for transparency and exploration with intentional design choices like glass rickhouses and a Napa Valley style destination experience on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail®. Their portfolio spans classic estate-distilled bourbons and ryes alongside wildly creative collaborative finishes and blended whiskies that appeal to curiosity seekers and seasoned connoisseurs alike. Beyond its own award-winning releases, Bardstown Bourbon Co. plays host to one of the industry’s most innovative custom distilling programs, making it a hub for both bourbon fans and brand builders who want to see whiskey evolve rather than stagnate.
