Distillery/Bottler:

Willett Distillery distils Pure Kentucky in Bardstown. The bourbon matures there before Willett bottles it at the same site.

Thompson Willett founded the distillery in 1936, following his father and grandfather into the whiskey-making trade. The family business is now run by Thompson Willett’s grandchildren.
