Six distilleries. Six exclusive expressions. One collection.

2023 Preservation Distillery Farm
Bardstown is the Bourbon Capital of the World, with 11 distillery experiences within 16 miles of the town center, each with a unique perspective on bourbon. This fact is commemorated by the bourbon barrel compass at Court Square, pointing visitors in the direction of each. You’ll find that compass, and other ornaments of American’s Most Beautiful Small Town, adorned throughout this very special package of bourbon whiskey. This is the Bardstown Collection, celebrating Bardstown and its rich heritage of bourbon making.
Each of the participating distilleries have hand-selected a special expression available only on-site, and only as part of the Bardstown Collection.

Of course, it’s not just the quantity of producers that makes Bardstown special, but also the quality. The attention to detail, level of craftsmanship, and most importantly, superlative flavor profiles are why we say that Bourbon Comes From Bardstown.

Where Bourbon Meets Purpose

In just three years, the Bardstown Collection has reinvested $360,000 into our local community, made possible by the 2022, 2023, and 2024 releases.
