Who is Kentucky Artisan Distillery?
Kentucky Artisan Distillery is a very unique place in the distillery world. KAD is a contract distiller and bottler, and currently serves as the home for Jefferson’s Bourbon.
Serving as the home for Jefferson’s Bourbon means that a large amount of the brand’s distilling, bottling, and aging happens onsite. KAD also works with Jefferson’s to help many of their innovative products become realities. Visit our ‘Brands’ page to learn more about this relationship.
Kentucky Artisan Distillery is one of the few distilleries that produces bourbon and spirits literally from the roots to the bottle. We contract grow our grains on 700 acres neighboring our distillery at Waldeck Farm. Our distillery is completely run by our distillers. And every bottle that goes down our bottling line is touched by several sets of hands.

Farm to Bottle
From farm to bottle, Kentucky Artisan Distillery mashes roughly 270 bushels of grain each day from the 700 acres of our neighboring partner, Waldeck Farm. Over 135 barrels a week of Kentucky spirits are produced from grains grown right here in Crestwood, Kentucky.
