Casey Jones Distillery located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky has announced it is now an official member in the newly revamped Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour. The world famous Kentucky Bourbon Trail is broken down into two categories based on the volume of spirits a distillery produces. There are the long established large heritage distilleries that make up the Kentucky Bourbon Trail that started in 1999 and then there are the craft spirits distilleries that started the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour in 2012. All combined the Trails have drawn more than 2.5 million visitors from all 50 states and 25 countries in the last five years and have become leading educational and tourism destinations.

Casey Jones Distillery was founded in 2014 by Arlon Casey Jones, a direct descendant of the company’s namesake, and Peg Hays. Together the husband and wife team operate the Hopkinsville, KY based company with a focus on tradition and authenticity in the distillation of small-batch craft distilled spirits. Jones says, “Whether you’re sipping barrel cut, moonshine or bourbon, one taste and you’ll see why they call it magic.”
