About

Located in the barreling house of the old Pepper Distillery in historic Lexington, Kentucky, Barrel House Distilling Company is owned and operated by Jeff Wiseman and Pete Wright, who began the project in 2006 and released their first spirit in December 2008. They strive to continue the tradition of old Kentucky distillers by producing fine spirits made with traditional methods, drawing on Kentucky heritage including the legendary Devil John Wright for their moonshine line and King Solomon for their rye whiskey.
