Born in Kentucky. Crafted with Care.
From field to barrel to glass, our spirits honor the land, the hands, and the heritage that make Kentucky bourbon legendary.
Small-Batch Spirits, Made the Kentucky Way
From bold, toasted finishes to smooth wheated blends, every batch tells its own story of craftsmanship and patience.
The First Blue Corn Bourbon
We grow and distill with heirloom blue corn — a rare, non-GMO grain cultivated right here on our farm in Midway, Kentucky. This blue corn gives our bourbon its deep, earthy sweetness and vibrant finish. But for us, it’s more than a signature ingredient — it’s the heart of our ground-to-glass approach. Visitors can see the process firsthand, season after season, as each harvest begins in the fields just steps from the still. Bourbon starts on the farm, and that’s why we operate ours onsite.
Award-Winning Craft from the Heart of Kentucky
Our small-batch approach has earned national acclaim and industry honors for flavor, innovation, and consistency. Each medal and mention reflects the same commitment that drives us every day: making bourbon worthy of its roots.
A Decade of Kentucky Craft and Community
Bluegrass Distillers began in 2012 with a shared dream among friends: to make authentic Kentucky bourbon that blends tradition with innovation. What started in a small Lexington facility has grown into Elkwood Farm — a ground-to-glass distillery rooted in the land that inspires our spirits.
Our move to Midway isn’t just an expansion; it’s a return to our roots. Here, we grow winter wheat and corn that form the foundation of our bourbon, handcraft every barrel, and welcome visitors to experience the full story of Kentucky bourbon, from the fields to the glass.
