Bardstown Bourbon Co. Acquired By Pritzker Private Capital

Kentucky-based Bardstown Bourbon Company has been acquired by Chicago-based Pritzker Private Capital for an undisclosed sum. The firm is investing in the distiller alongside members of the Bardstown Bourbon management team and current investors. Bardstown Bourbon president and CEO Mark Erwin and current management will continue to lead the business, which plans to ramp up its production and market presence with the new backing.

Known for its custom distilling services, Bardstown distills more than seven million proof gallons annually across 50 different mashbills and 30 brands, and says it’s now among the top 10 U.S.-based whiskey distillers by volume and the largest custom distiller in America.

The company’s own branded products debuted in 2019 and are distributed across 20 markets. Bardstown Bourbon Co.’s campus, which sits on 100 acres of farmland, is billed as a “Napa Valley-style” destination on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, welcoming more than 75,000 visitors annually.—Daniel Marsteller
