Willett Distillery, also known as Kentucky Bourbon Distillers in the past decades, is a family-owned and operated company located on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, on a site that began as a farm owned by the Willett family. Primarily operating as a large independent bottling company, their whiskeys were distilled at Heaven Hill Distillery that is located about a half mile away along the same road in Bardstown.

In 2012, after several years of renovations, the family fired up their own distillery and a few days later, their copper pot still was put to use for the first time distilling their very own spirit. As of 2020, they had filled over 35,000 barrels that are among the most highly anticipated whiskeys sitting in Kentucky warehouses right now.

The company has bottled some remarkable releases of the past 25 years with many of their whiskeys sold on the secondary market for thousands of dollars. Their Family of Brands include; Willett Pot Still, Johnny Drum, Old Bardstown, Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek, Pure Kentucky, Kentucky Vintage and the Willett Family Estate collection.
