Western Kentucky Distilling Co.: A New Era of Bourbon Brilliance

Unlocking the Spirit of Western Kentucky: A Toast to Tradition and Innovation

Roll out the barrels and break ground on excitement, folks! The Western Kentucky Distilling Co. has splashed onto the scene, and it’s not just another distillery on the block. Nestled in the charming town of Beaver Dam, this all-star venture whispers tales of heritage while stirring the pot of innovation. Can you hear the clinking glasses in mid-2023? That’s the sound of Kentucky’s latest pride and joy, pouring the smoothest bourbon and rye whiskeys straight into your soul.

Sipping on History: The Birth of a Bourbon Behemoth

Picture this: 80 acres of lush, green Kentucky land that once fed farm animals now set to feed our spirits (quite literally!) with premium libations. Welcome to 1880 Old Liberty Church Road, the future home of a distillery echoing with the expertise of none other than Jacob Call, an eighth-generation distilling maverick. Alongside Kentucky native JD Edwards, this dynamic duo plans to craft spirits that’ll make your grandpappy’s moustache twirl with delight.

But wait, there’s more! Imagine 15 warehouses, each echoing with the sound of 50,000 barrels a year finding their rhythm in the aging waltz. That’s right, friends. We’re not talking small potatoes here – this is a 25,000 square foot dance floor where the liquid gold does the two-step to perfection. It’s a 300,000-square-foot cha-cha of future flavor, with a storage band that’s playing for a quarter-million barrels!

From Farm to Flask: The Journey of Jacob and JD

Jake and JD have a not-so-secret recipe: tradition, quality, and a dollop of Kentucky pride. Together, they’re distilling dreams, using techniques handed down like a well-loved family skillet. These guys are putting the ‘art’ in ‘artisanal’, turning locally-grown corn into sips of sunshine dripping with the best that the Bluegrass State offers.

This isn’t just about pouring drinks, dear friends. It’s about pouring job opportunities into the local economy, with an expected crew of 35 happy employees whistling while they work in just two years’ time. Say hello to new neighbors and goodbye to any thoughts of this being anything less than a win for lovely Beaver Dam.

Jacob Call: The Heart and Soul behind the Spirits
