Castle & Key

Colonel Taylor designed the Springhouse in 1887 to protect the largest of five limestone-filtered springs on this property. When Will purchased the grounds in 2014, the keyhole architecture was so distinctive it became the foundation of the brand's identity; the name, the logo, all of it rooted in this single structure.

Kentucky limestone filters out the minerals that compromise a spirit and adds back the ones that help it thrive. Taylor understood that and so do we.

After repairs and restoration, the Springhouse water is officially back in our mash! Where it always belonged

The Springhouse is open to explore, no ticket required. Book a distillery experience to see how it shapes every drop we make.
