J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery Opens in Frankfort, KY
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery, created by Jeff Mattingly, a descendant of distilling pioneer John Graves Mattingly, has announced the opening of its distillery in Frankfort, KY.
The new 23,000 sq ft distillery includes a gift shop, tasting bar, a small pot still, and a custom bourbon blending experience, which allows visitors to blend their own bottle from a combination of hand-selected barrels of Kentucky bourbon, wheated bourbon, or rye whiskey, then choose their bottle, customize their label, and choose their wax color.
Previously located in Georgetown, KY, the new location in Frankfort is part of a $6 million investment which will also add up to 50 new jobs. That investment is projected to grow as the distillery starts distilling on site, and eventually adds a second column still and barrel warehouses on property purchased in Shelby County, KY.
