Products made with sustainability in mind and innovation at their core. We make use of every barrel’s entire lifespan.

The Bourbon

Behind The Beer

Our brewery and distillery form a marriage of skills that drives the one-of-a-kind flavor in our beers and whiskies. Our award-winning Town Branch® Bourbon made with a higher-malt mash. It is aged in new, charred white oak barrels for a golden amber color and incredibly rich, complex flavors that make our bourbon timeless.

Crafting the beer of

Bourbon Country

After the newly brewed Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale® goes onto bottling, the barrels continue their life with a third filling to create our Town Branch® Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey aged for a minimum of seven years. Within Town Branch Distillery rests the oldest Kentucky single malt stocks in the world.

The end of the

Journey

The barrels finish their journey by making their way to Dublin, Ireland to be used as a 4th fill for Irish Whiskey at our Pearse Lyons Distillery. Products made with sustainability in mind and innovation at their core. We make use of every barrel’s entire lifespan.
