Bardstown Bourbon Veterans To Launch Whiskey House Of Kentucky

Veterans of Bardstown Bourbon Company are planning to open a new contract whiskey distillery next July, Whiskey House of Kentucky. Located on a 176-acre campus in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, the facility will begin operations with more than seven million proof gallons of annual capacity (112,000 barrels), expanding to more than 14 million proof gallons (224,000 barrels) in 2027.

The new venture is led by David Mandell, John Hargrove and Daniel Linde, the team that started and built The Bardstown Bourbon Company. They say Whiskey House will be the first distillery “designed from the ground up to focus solely on large-scale, flexible, contract whiskey production.” The project is slated to see an investment of $350 million over its first 10 years.—Daniel Marsteller
