OUR STORY
What began 7 decades ago as a family passion, sharing and selling old world bourbon and trading stories with the grandfathers of the bourbon industry grew over the years into producing our own brands from hand selected, rare barrels of intensely flavored whiskey. Since the mid 1980s, collectors and fans around the world who crave those big rich bourbons have discovered our unique bottlings.
In recent years, we’ve been frustrated trying to source the magically intense barrels of yore, and realized that old school flavor we longed for just didn’t exist today. That’s when we decided to build on our historical tobacco farm in Bardstown, a true micro-batch distilling facility.
Preservation has been quietly distilling our own, small production bourbon and whiskey in 1-3 barrel batches. These are minuscule lots with no particular release dates as we just won't bottle our whiskey before it's time. But that’s ok…we’re not in a hurry.
OUR FARM
Preservation's farmhouse distillery and historic barns are set in the rolling hills of Kentucky Bluegrass Country, right along the Bourbon Trail. The surrounding green pastureland encompasses what is now Preservation Farms and represents our commitment to the art of slow distilling, and goal of sustainability. When you visit our property, you will understand why we chose this specific land to create the big, rich flavors we've dreamed of distilling for years. Our farm and distillery sit on 40 beautiful acres and we can't wait to share it and our unique micro batch bourbon and whiskey with you.
