Casey Jones Distillery located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky is well known for their moonshine. Now for the first time this young craft spirits distillery is ready to release a Small Batch Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.
The release is major milestone for the distillery just in time for its fifth anniversary. “We have long standing family traditions in stills and moonshines,” said Co-Founder and Master Distiller Arlon Casey Jones (AJ). “Now, I get to release our first bourbon and start a new era.”
Initial planning to offer bourbon started in 2017. As the prospect for a release began to take shape, the distillery started a waiting list for patrons to gauge interest. The list quickly exceeded all expectations and indicated a high demand for a Casey Jones bourbon. To meet high demand, production is in full operation with a series of small batch bourbon releases slated.
“With a Jones family tradition and knowledge of how to make the best moonshine,” said distillery Co-Founder Peg Hays. “It is a natural step to make outstanding small-batch bourbon.”
