Our History

Established 2013

Spring 2012 - Bluegrass Distillers Was Founded

Bluegrass Distillers, established in 2012, was founded by Kentucky natives, among whom is the current owner, Sam Rock

Fall 2015

Our inaugural bourbon release marked the opening of our doors to the public at our original location on West 6th Street in Lexington, KY, housed within the Bread Box building.

February 2017

After becoming a member of the Kentucky Distillers Association in 2014, we joined the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour as a stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Back then, the Bourbon Trail comprised only 33 distilleries between large and small distilleries.

Spring 2019

The first-ever batch of our award-winning Blue Corn Bourbon, the sole Kentucky Bourbon crafted exclusively from blue corn, was released to the public.

2023

Over the past eight years, we have expanded our following in our 4,500 sq ft home in Lexington, where we host over 20,000 visitors annually. Our Downtown Lexington location remains operational, producing a single barrel per day.
