Buffalo Trace Distillery is a company that operates in the Food & Beverages industry. It employs 101-250 people and has $25M-$50M of revenue. The company is headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Distilling is baked in Louisville's culture. Rabbit Hole is at the city's creative heart, the NULU district, the nexus of old and new, where artists and entrepreneurs pursue their vision without budgeting for regret. We could be nowhere else. From grain to bottle, inside Rabbit Hole, you’ll witness the creation of modern spirits. Because those spirits don’t come to life until they’re shared, the easy sociability of Rabbit Hole’s tasting bars and event center, the Over Look, complete the experience.
On St. Patrick’s Day in 1937, Thompson Willett, a third-generation whiskey maker, stored the first batch of Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey made at Willett Distilling Company. The distillery was built on the family’s farm a year earlier, set atop the highest point in Nelson County.
Fast forward nearly 90 years, and Willett has a choice Kentucky Whiskey to be shared among friends for celebrations intimate to epic. Willett Distillery still sits on the same land and is owned and operated by descendants of Thompson Willett.
Willett Distillery feels a lot like it did when we opened nearly 90 years ago – and we like it that way. We’re a cozy place set atop rolling hills and staffed by family and friends that we have known for decades.
The Bardstown air that blows through the rickhouses and over the land is filled with a rich history, a vision for future generations – and a deep appreciation for the present, keeping Willett a family operation by choice.
