Our whiskey is hand made a batch at a time. We combine the purest locally grown grains and natural spring waters, and then carefully ferment them together. Then we patiently distill and age each batch monitoring every drop insuring the cuts are made to insure the purity and gentle flavors you will taste every bottle.
Rum is at the heart of our distillery. With ties to centuries old Caribbean methods using only locally grown sugar cane and natural spring water to create a distinctly sweet and succulent spirit. Batch made and pain stakingly distilled and aged with distinct oak and spice flavors our Rum is top shelf.
Our research indicates numerous generations of our family were distillers who settled in the south central regions of Kentucky up to the Civil War era. Although ship manifests were poorly kept, the names indicate the initial charters were financed by our direct ancestors, and suggest they brought with them the skill sets of distillation.
This family owned and operated business was founded on June 18, 2012 by two brothers, Tim and Paul James. Their ancestors are of English and German heritage where great brewing is a time honored tradition, which they brought to this country in the early 1700s as Palatine immigrants.
