Whether you're visiting Castle & Key Distillery for the first time or making a return pilgrimage to our hallowed grounds, we're ready to welcome you. We are the birthplace of bourbon hospitality.
Castle & Key began restoring the historic Old Taylor Distillery in 2014 and after four years of hard work, was overjoyed to open the distillery to visitors in September of 2018. Now we are excited to offer a range of experiences from tours to private events among a myriad of other reasons to visit the site.
The Castle has been standing proud over this site since 1887, and it first served as a distillery as early as 1819. We’re beyond excited to once again invite guests to explore where the magic happens while taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of spirits production. Original hardwood floors and plaster walls help tell the story of our historic site, while modern upgrades by the Castle & Key team ensure we usher in the next phase of our brand.
