PLACES TO VISIT

LUX ROW DISTILLERY Bardstown, KY Traveling to Kentucky is my zen space. It's where I feel at my most... well... me.

They were kind enough to have us to their distillery to have a poke around.

There's nothing quite like parking at a distillery, opening the door, and smelling that sweet grain scent that saturates the air from mashes slowly cooking like a great vat of bubbling oatmeal.

They selected Bardstown, KY for their location for... well... obvious reasons.

In 2015, Luxaco expanded its operations to a new distillery so they could continue meeting their growing demand.

They really wanted to capitalize on the prospect of heritage and tradition while fusing that feel with the innovation of modern technology.

They house brands such as Blood Oath, Ezra Brooks, Rebel, and David Nicholson. Many of these are well-known within the whiskey community and widely available at your local liquor store. Their distillery is new, shiny, and full of people incredibly passionate about whiskey.

You know, Bardstown begin the bourbon capital of the world and all that.

It truly is a striking aesthetic. A sleek and modern distillery with unmistakable roots in rustic ruggedness. The facility sprawls over 18,000 feet, making it more of a campus alongside other prominent distilleries peppering the Kentucky countryside.
