In the Whisky Advocate article “Jackson Purchase Is Expanding Its Horizons Beyond Kentucky,” Julia Higgins reports on how Jackson Purchase Distillery, a bourbon producer founded in 2021 in Hickman, Kentucky, is expanding distribution of its whiskeys outside of Kentucky for the first time. The distillery is led by veteran distillers Craig Beam and Terry Ballard, and its first release, Jackson Purchase Batch No. 1 Full Proof—a four-year-old bourbon made from a mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley—was initially exclusive to Kentucky but is now available for shipping to most U.S. states. The article highlights how the warmer climate of western Kentucky and No.-4 char barrels contribute to the spirit’s color and flavor. It also explains that although the facility was originally built in 2008 and changed hands before becoming Jackson Purchase, it is now fully operational with significant production capacity, most of which is used for contract distilling, and the label hopes to release more limited bottlings in the future.
