Contract Distillery Building in Elizabethtown, Kentucky
The whiskey business continues to boom in the Bluegrass: today Whiskey House of Kentucky showed off its new contract distillery on a 176-acre campus in Elizabethtown. The distillery will begin operations on July 1, 2024.
Whiskey House was started last year by the trio that built Bardstown Bourbon Company: David Mandell, John Hargrove and Daniel Linde. The team says the operation will be “the first distillery designed from the ground up to focus solely on large-scale, flexible, contract whiskey production.” Whiskey House will not create its own brands.
Elizabethtown is in Hardin County, about 40 miles south of Louisville.
“Whiskey House will reshape the contract whiskey market in the United States. As the bourbon market continues to grow, we see the need for additional distilling capacity and more customer focused solutions. We will provide the highest-quality production, guaranteed capacity, and exceptional customer service for our brand partners.”
