In 1887, Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr built a new kind of distillery destination in Millville, KY. Inspired by European architecture, the site featured a Castle, a classical Springhouse, and a sunken garden. What he built became the birthplace of bourbon tourism.

Prohibition forced the closing of the distillery in 1920. Over the next century, the property changed owners and occupants several times, eventually falling into ruin. In 2012, Will Arvin came across photographs of the abandoned distillery. He couldn’t stop thinking about its legacy and potential. He decided to visit the property to see for himself. By 2014, it was decided to purchase the Old Taylor Distillery. First they had to rehab the property before they could start crafting spirits. Vodkas and Gins were first since they don’t require aging. This allowed them to supplement operating costs while the bourbon aged.

Over the years, the company has done numerous contract distilling runs for various brands and released their own rye. However, the company never released their own bourbon--that all changed with Small Batch Bourbon Batch #1, the first-ever BOURBON to be released by Castle & Key.
