Good to know
Formerly known as O.Z. Tyler Distillery, the facility was acquired by Bardstown Bourbon Company and Pritzker Capital in June. Jacob Call departed as Master Distiller at the end of July amid leadership changes, casting some uncertainty on future releases. It delivers complexity that exceeds expectations for its proof and value positioning.
