Jefferson’s Bourbon
Jefferson’s Reserve is our largest and most well-known brand that proudly calls KAD their home. We are the official home for Jefferson’s, and when you take a tour with us you will learn all about their story, how KAD came to be a part of it, and sample some of their products we have helped them create.
Jefferson’s was founded in 1997 by Trey and Chet Zoeller. They wanted to continue a family tradition that goes back to Trey’s 8th generation grandmother who was arrested in 1799 for the “production and sales of spirituous liquors”. Jefferson’s is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the definition of bourbon, while upholding tradition. This combination was a perfect match for Kentucky Artisan Distillery.
We are proud to do many parts of the process for the Jefferson’s brand, including distilling, blending, aging, bottling and helping to make many of their experimental projects become realities. It truly is the perfect partnership!
