B.R. Distilling, through expanding its contract distillation deal with Green River Distilling Company, will triple whiskey production.
B.R. Distilling, Memphis’ oldest licensed distillery and producer of Blue Note Bourbon, recently announced it has entered into significant, long-term distillation contract with Bardstown Bourbon Company, parent company of Green River Distilling Company. This contract expands and extends the relationship between the companies, which dates back to 2017. As a direct result, B.R. Distilling is more than tripling the size of its production and storage facilities in Memphis, TN by early 2024.
Bardstown Bourbon has distilled for some of the best brands in the world and we are thrilled to partner with a team that is passionate about making great whiskey in an open and trustworthy fashion. We will benefit from their team’s decades of distillation experience and facilities, as well as the famous limestone waters of Kentucky, to ensure the distinctive taste our customers have come to expect from Blue Note Bourbon. Following production at the 10th oldest distillery in in Kentucky, these barrels journey from the heart of the Bluegrass state to the vibrant birthplace of the Blues. There, through meticulous aging between the banks of the Mississippi and Wolf rivers and through the infusion of the nation’s purest water, Blue Note Bourbon reaches its peak perfection and is ready for bourbon enthusiasts nationwide.
