About Bluegrass Distillers

Our journey began with our original distillery in Lexington, KY, where we started by meticulously mashing every ounce of grain by hand. This dedication to quality and attention to detail allowed us to create award winning spirits. But we didn’t stop there. 

Bluegrass Distillers started from scratch mashing each ounce of grain by hand, and opened its doors on West 6th Street in Lexington, KY in 2013 at its current distillery in the Bread Box building. The Distillery is community-focused, and gives back through their Philanthropy Barrel Program. In 2020, the company raised and donated over $45,000 to local nonprofits through the Philanthropy Barrel Program.

We now embark on an exciting new chapter at Elkwood Farm, located down the road in Midway, KY. Here, we have taken our devotion to the next level by growing our own corn right on site, expanding our production capacity, and pushing the boundaries of what exceptional spirits can truly be.

Where fast horses are bred, and the finest whiskey is crafted. Nestled within the heart of bourbon country in Central KY, we craft our award-winning spirits alongside the champions of horse racing. We take immense pride in being a part of this storied heritage, where tradition and excellence converge to produce the very best spirits.

Home of the first Kentucky Blue Corn Bourbon. Our award-winning Blue Corn Bourbon is now being grown at our Elkwood Farm location. This product has a nutty sweetness unlike any other product on the market. While currently available seasonally, we invite you to visit our Elkwood Farm for a grain-to-glass experience, where you can witness our corn up close and savor the fresh-from-the-still taste of our Blue Dog.
