KBD - Kentucky Bourbon Distillers

Kentucky Bourbon Distillers is located on the outskirts of Bardstown, Kentucky on a site that began as a farm owned by the Willett family. Primarily operating as a relatively large independent bottling company or NDP (Non-Distiller Producer)  KBD has been called "the big daddy of bourbon and rye bottling". The company has remained under family ownership and operation at the same location since it was created in 1936 as the Willett Distilling Company. The company started doing business as KBD in the mid-1980s
