Bardstown Bourbon Company
About
Bardstown Bourbon Company is a modern bourbon distillery and contract distilling operation located in Bardstown, Kentucky, the self-proclaimed 'Bourbon Capital of the World.' Founded in 2014 by entrepreneur David Mandell, the company built a state-of-the-art distillery campus that opened in 2016. The facility was designed from the ground up to serve both as a premium visitor destination and a world-class contract distilling operation, with a custom-built 36-inch column still, pot still capabilities, and extensive barrel warehousing.
The company's Collaborative Distilling Program is its core contract and white label service, allowing brands to create custom bourbon and whiskey products using Bardstown's equipment, expertise, and barrel storage. Clients can specify their own mashbill (grain recipe), yeast strain, distillation proof, barrel entry proof, char level, and aging location preferences, resulting in a truly custom product rather than a sourced generic whiskey. Bardstown also offers aged whiskey inventory from its own production for brands seeking more immediate market entry. The company has partnered with numerous well-known brands and celebrities on custom bourbon projects. Their facility includes a restaurant, tasting rooms, and event spaces, and the company has won multiple architectural and design awards for its campus. Bardstown Bourbon Company represents a new generation of purpose-built contract distilling that combines craft quality with commercial scale.
