USA | The distillery industry is set to be shaken up with the grand opening of Whiskey House of Kentucky.
Whiskey House of Kentucky, the latest and most advanced distillery in the United States, has announced its operations have officially begun as initially projected.
Located on a 176-acre campus in the T.J. Patterson Elizabethtown Hardin County Industrial Park, Whiskey House is the most sophisticated, technically advanced producer of custom bourbon, rye, and American whiskey in the United States.
Whiskey House was initially founded in 2022 by David Mandell, John Hargrove and Daniel Linde, the team that started and built The Bardstown Bourbon Company. As the first distillery designed from the ground up to focus solely on large-scale, flexible, contract whiskey production, Whiskey House has no brands of its own and a campus closed to the public, removing all potential conflicts of interest between the company and its customers. The team is hyper-focused on providing superior custom whiskey production, innovative liquid design, exceptional customer service, and the most competitive pricing for its exclusive branded clients.
"Thanks to our incredible team, construction partners, service providers and vendors, we've delivered the most advanced distillery in the United States in just over two years," said co-founder and CEO David Mandell.
"Our state-of-the-art facility not only provides unmatched quality, flexibility and production capabilities, but we've also assembled the best team in American whiskey to deliver exceptional customer service for our exclusive brand partners."
Whiskey House is unlike anything in the distilling industry. The facility combines advanced manufacturing principles from the food industry with lean manufacturing techniques and the latest "Industry 4.0" technology. The distinctive design, fully automated system, sequence of operations, and proprietary software enable Whiskey House to run multiple mashbills, including small, craft production runs, while maintaining complete consistency of production.
The complex is also designed to capture and reuse latent energy throughout the production process, resulting in a 50 percent decrease of energy consumption as compared to the EPA's Energy Star Certified Distilleries.
