Willett Distillery
Willett Distillery is a privately-owned, family-run distillery that produces bourbon and rye whiskey. The distillery is located on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky, on a site that was originally a farm owned by the Willett family.
In the spring of 1936, Thompson Willett, at the age of 27, founded Willett Distillery. The distillery was built near the family farm, which had been purchased by Lambert Willett, Thompson’s father. After its completion in the spring of 1937, Willett Distillery produced its first batch of Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey. The first batch consisted of 30 barrels on March 17, 1937, St. Patrick’s Day.
