Midway Series: Finished Rye Whiskeys. Made with the finest grains and time-honored methods. The original Midway Distilling Co. (destroyed by fire in 1924) has been resurrected by the team at Bluegrass Distillers. We are proud to honor our new distillery’s home of Midway, KY and to share the experimental whiskeys and finishes that we have created and love under the Midway Distilling Co. brand.

Summary
Lee’s Branch, an off-shoot of the Elkhorn River, was the original water source for Midway’s first distilleries and named after surveyor Willis Lee. Mingling tradition and innovation, we finish rye whiskey in toasted French Oak barrels to impart spicy, peppery notes for a new finish on an old favorite.
