About
Lux Row Distillers is a polished, modern bourbon destination in Bardstown that gives visitors a full look at one of Kentucky’s most recognizable whiskey portfolios. Set on a scenic property marked by its tree-lined drive, historic-style grounds, patios, and contemporary distillery architecture, Lux Row feels both welcoming and high-end without being stiff. The experience is built around five major brands under one roof. Rebel Bourbon, Ezra Brooks, David Nicholson, Daviess County, and Blood Oath. That variety makes it especially appealing for travelers who want more than a single-label tasting, because one stop introduces them to multiple flavor profiles, mash bill styles, and brand stories. With guided tours, a gift shop bar, neat pours, cocktails, retail space, and patios, Lux Row is an easy Bardstown stop for both serious bourbon fans and casual visitors who want a beautiful place to sip and learn.
History
Lux Row Distillers was created by Luxco, a St. Louis-based spirits company with decades of experience producing and marketing beverage alcohol brands. After years of working in bourbon through sourced whiskey and partner production, Luxco decided in 2015 that it was time to build its own Kentucky distillery to support the continued growth of its whiskey portfolio. Bardstown was the natural choice because of its bourbon heritage, access to Kentucky grains, limestone-filtered water, and central location within bourbon country. The result was a large, purpose-built facility that brought Luxco’s bourbon brands into one Kentucky home and gave visitors a direct way to experience them.
Notoriety
Lux Row Distillers is best known for the strength and variety of its whiskey lineup. Instead of touring a site built around one flagship bottle, visitors encounter a “row” of brands with different histories and personalities, from the wheated profile of Rebel Bourbon to the classic Kentucky feel of Ezra Brooks, the historic David Nicholson name, the Daviess County family of bourbons, and the premium, limited Blood Oath series. That wide portfolio gives Lux Row a strong “something for everyone” reputation and makes the tasting experience feel especially useful for travelers who are still learning what styles of bourbon they enjoy.
