Join us at Bluegrass Distillers at Elkwood Farm in Midway in August for a Social Networking & Bourbon Tasting Event!
Bluegrass Distillers’ journey to Elkwood Farm began in 2018, but the farm itself was constructed nearly 200 years ago in the mid-1830s. The primary residence on the property now serves as the Visitors Center with tasting rooms, a gift shop, and a main bar. They are constructing the distillery building, which will also house a lab, bottling facility, and bar, in addition to ten barrel warehouses around the property. Once completed, the new distillery will be able to produce over 30,000 barrels per year, a 100% increase from the 300 barrels made at their Downtown Lexington facility. In addition to the new Visitors Center and Distillery, they will utilize most of the 62 acres surrounding the mansion to cultivate their blue and yellow corn, which is used in producing their award-winning bourbons.
The historic grounds, where you’ll immerse yourself in an authentic grain-to-glass distillery experience, are located just 10 minutes from Frankfort, KY, and 15 minutes from Lexington, KY. Production began in Summer 2024. Guided Tastings and Visitors Center are now open to the public.
