BARDSTOWN, Ky., June 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On National
Bourbon Day, the distilleries of Bardstown, Kentucky came together to announce a
collaborative project that further establishes the region as the
Bourbon Capital of the World. Heaven
Hill, James B Beam Distilling Co, Bardstown Bourbon
Company, Preservation and Log Still distilleries have
joined together to release a one-of-a-kind bourbon series
celebrating their Bardstown
heritage, coming this September. All proceeds from the release will
be donated to the Bardstown
community.
"You can truly feel the magic of our bourbon culture and
heritage come alive when working on this special release," said
Samantha Brady, executive director
of Bardstown Tourism. "We are trademarked as the "Bourbon
Capital of the World," but when distilleries unite to authenticate
your claim; you don't get much better than that. There is a reason
why we say "Bourbon Comes from Bardstown" and we invite you to experience
this for yourself."
There are eleven distillery experiences within sixteen miles of
Bardstown and on National Bourbon
Day each Master Distiller stood together to announce this
collective project. Each distiller committed to selecting a premium
bourbon to represent their company's best, bottled in custom
packaging that celebrates the community and the history of
Bardstown.
"My family's been in the area for generations, and we've always
considered Bardstown our home,"
shared Freddie Noe IV,
8th Generation Distiller for James B Beam Distilling Co.
"Not just because most of us have lived here, but because we're
part of the community. So when this idea was brought to us, it was
a no brainer. We're honored to join our fellow bourbon distillers
in coming together for a good cause – and great bourbon."
The shared bottle design features iconic images from
Bardstown, such as The My Old
Kentucky Home museum and will be packaged within a
gold-embossed, navy blue box featuring an ornate compass and a
detailed graphic of the region's topography. The box also includes
a moleskin booklet describing the product and process of every
distillery.
"A collaboration like this has never been done within the
bourbon industry," shared Dan
Callaway, vice president of hospitality and product
development for Bardstown Bourbon Company. "It is remarkable to be
part of the camaraderie and collaboration between so many
Bardstown brands."
The project will be bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company's new
55,000 square foot bottling facility, then made available for
purchase exclusively on-site at each distillery's visitors center
in September. The releases will be scheduled so that guests will
have an opportunity to visit each location to purchase their
bottle.

About Bardstown,
Kentucky:
Located in the heart of the Bluegrass State, Bardstown offers the ultimate bourbon getaway.
With 11 unique distillery experiences within 16 miles of court
square, all your bourbon dreams can come true here in Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of The
World.
Bourbon not your thing? Not to worry! Come see us for our
unrivaled history, instead. With an atmosphere that seems to have
magically leapt from the paintings of Norman Rockwell and the pages of Mark Twain, see
for yourself why Bardstown was
declared The Most Beautiful Small Town in America by Rand McNally and USA Today.
Settled in 1780, Bardstown is
Kentucky's second-oldest city.
Throughout Nelson County, there
are more than 300 buildings on the National Register of Historic
Places, with nearly 200 of them located in the historic downtown
district. In fact, the stagecoach stop that was built in 1779 still
stands today as a tavern, restaurant, and bed & breakfast.
It's not just the town structures that have stayed the same.
You'll also find the friendly attitude and Southern charm that can
only be found in such a town. It's a place where neighbors still
borrow cups of sugar. Because let's face it, you can't make a mint
julep without sugar! You also can't make it without bourbon.
Speaking of…who's ready to come soak up some local culture?
