we are all about authentic kentucky bourbon
“We are producing over 60,000 barrels annually for our customers and we’re just getting started. Word has gotten out about the quality of the whiskey we’re putting out down here, and there’s no shortage of customers, that’s for sure.”
Jackson Purchase Distillery, founded in 2021, is one of the fastest growing distilleries in Kentucky. We offer contract distilling services, selling new-fill barrels of bourbon to craft brands, distillers in need of increased capacity, and companies that purchase barrels for future third party sales.
Located in the farthest reaches of Western Kentucky, situated in the small town of Hickman along the Mississippi River where Kentucky meets Tennessee and Missouri, the team at Jackson Purchase Distillery is quietly producing some of the finest bourbon in the Bluegrass State.
our location gives us a distinct quality advantage
fresh western KENTUCKY WATER
Deep beneath the rich black soil of the river bottom land and the fertile rolling hills in Western Kentucky lay’s an abundant supply of fresh, sweet water. Jackson Purchase Distillery draws from this source with its own on-site calcium-rich well.
rich soil / LOCAL GRAINS
Deep beneath the rich black soil of the river bottom land and the fertile rolling hills in Western Kentucky’s vast areas of arable land, drawing from its natural water source, is a distiller’s dream. The surrounding farmlands lie on some of the richest soils of sand, silt, and clay fed from the surrounding river bottomlands. Jackson Purchase Distillery has direct relationships with local farmers to source the region's highest quality corn and wheat for use in the production of our Kentucky bourbon.
100% COPPER STILLS
We believe to capitalize on the finest water and finest grains, the finest stills ensure a smoother, less bitter bourbon with the potential of maturing into a great Kentucky bourbon. We invest in the equipment to ensure excellent bourbon for our customers.
climate and aging
It is thought that Kentucky bourbon gets up to 70% of its sweet flavor notes from the wood in the new charred white oak barrels. The hot humid Western Kentucky summer days draws the whiskey into the wood grain of the barrels where it picks up the deep rich flavors. The Jackson Purchase Distillery and warehouse sits in the warmest region in all of Kentucky, giving our Kentucky bourbon a distinct advantage.
