About

Dueling Grounds Distillery is a small craft bourbon distillery located in Franklin, Kentucky, operating as a grain-to-glass producer since 2016 with all Kentucky-grown, non-GMO grains sourced from a single farm within a short drive of the distillery. Named after the historical dueling grounds near the distillery’s location in the Linkumpinch area, the family-owned operation handcrafts all spirits using locally grown corn, wheat, barley, and water through a double pot distillation process. The distillery produces award-winning bourbons with a consistent mashbill of 66% yellow dent corn, 22% soft red winter wheat, and 12% malted barley, while also offering a diverse lineup of craft gins.
