Over time production migrated and current commercial production is carried out in Bardstown, Kentucky, under the management of contemporary groups (Heaven Hill is among the producers responsible for the brand today).
Production philosophy
Focused on the tradition of American rye, the brand favors a spicy, structured profile suited both to neat drinking and to classic cocktails; the Bottled‑in‑Bond expression ensures consistency between bottles.
