Willett Distillery

Willett Distillery, established in 1935 in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky, is a cornerstone of American whiskey history. Though the distillery closed in the 1980s, it was revitalized as Kentucky Bourbon Distillers by 1986, focusing on bottling and releasing premium whiskies. Willett's portfolio now includes celebrated bourbons and rye whiskies, known for their rich flavors and artisanal quality. As a family-owned operation, Willett Distillery continues to craft small-batch and single-barrel expressions, solidifying its place as a prominent name in the world of fine Kentucky whiskey.
