Every Distiller Has a Story...
At Gusmer, we know that every distillery has a story and that every distiller can make their own mark within the industry. That’s why we are proud to feature Bardstown Bourbon on the front cover of this year’s catalog. Set on 100 acres of active farmland in the heart of Kentucky, Bardstown Bourbon broke ground in 2013 and the facility started producing bourbon in 2016. The company’s late founder Peter Loftin, saw a need for a custom production facility for clients looking for additional production capacity. In 2016 the company began production at approximately 1.5 million proof gallons and quickly grew to almost 7 million proof gallons in 2018 reflecting a 500% increase in just two years. Currently 90% of the facility production is for labels and clients other than Bardstown Bourbon. Bardstown Bourbon produces nearly 40 unique mash bills for some of the finest whiskey and bourbon brands, including Jefferson’s, High West, Belle Meade, Hirsch, Calumet, James E. Pepper, Cyrus Noble, and many others. Nick Smith, Distillery Manager & Head Distiller, stressed that “it’s all about the team.” Bardstown Bourbon prides itself on its team, noting that many members of the staff
have worked at a variety of distilleries in Kentucky, building upon a large wealth of knowledge and experience. Steve Nally, Master Distiller for Bardstown is a great example of this, working in the distilling industry for almost 50 years! Another key member is John Hargrove, a rising star within the whiskey industry and the Chief Operating Officer . Like Gusmer, Bardstown Bourbon realizes that producing great bourbon is both an art and a science. At Gusmer, we have the technical staff and product lines that honor the rich history of the distillation process, while always looking to innovate. Gusmer prides itself on the many successful partnerships in the distilling industry and are here to support you with products that will help you reach your goals - products that are tried, true and tested for artisanal to large-scale spirit production. We look forward to working together in the creation of your spirits and success in your brands. Your Friends at Gusmer Enterprises, Inc.
