Kentucky Artisan Distillery
What makes Kentucky Artisan Distillery different from other distilleries is that they don’t make whiskey for themselves. Known as a contract distillery, Kentucky Artisan works with brands to distill and bottle whiskey to someone else’s specifications. The most well-known label is Jefferson’s Bourbon.
Each brand made here is part of the distillery tour for an experience unlike any other in Bourbon Country.
