American Whiskey Distilleries

Determined to make a new life, settlers first arrived in Kentucky around 1767. Travelling from Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas, these early settlers were lured to Kentucky by stories of rich soil and abundant game.

By the end of the American War of Independence (1784), the first commercial distilleries had been established in what was then the western Virginia county of Kentucky
