Limestone Branch Distillery
It all began when a man named Jacob Beam sold his first barrels of corn whiskey called Old Jake Beam in 1770. Seven generations later, brothers Stephen and Paul Beam started their own chapter of the family history book as the proud Kentucky bourbon distillers behind Limestone Branch Distillery. Stephen and Paul broke ground on Limestone Branch on May 26, 2011. The brothers reconstructed a small distillery reminiscent of an era gone by. Just short of a year later, they got out the big scissors for a ribbon cutting on February 17, 2012. Today, when you visit Limestone Branch Distillery, you can’t help but sense the history that helped shaped it.
Check out their award-winning craft spirits.
