About Whiskey Thief Distilling:

Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. is a craft distillery in Kentucky known for its unique, hands-on experience where visitors can taste and bottle their own single-barrel, uncut, and unfiltered bourbon or rye whiskey straight from the barrel. It operates two locations: a working farm and distillery in rural Franklin County and a tasting room in the NuLu neighborhood of Louisville.

Overview
Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. offers an authentic, small-batch experience that sets it apart from larger, more commercial distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

Farm-to-Bottle Philosophy: The distillery is situated on a 127-acre working farm where it grows its own corn and grains used in its pot-still distillation process.

“Thieving” Experience: The signature offering is the “Uncut & Unfiltered Experience,” where guests use a traditional copper tool called a “whiskey thief” to sample whiskey from various barrels and, if they choose, fill their own bottle to take home.

Atmosphere: Both locations offer a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, often featuring live music and food trucks, making it a social destination as well as a distillery visit. The Franklin County farm is also pet-friendly.

Limited Distribution: Whiskey Thief’s spirits are primarily sold only at their two physical locations, making a visit the only way to acquire many of their specific single-barrel products.

Ownership: The company is owned by Walter Zausch, a former Apple and Microsoft manager, who acquired the distillery (formerly known as Three Boys Farm Distillery) in 2021 and rebranded it with its original name.

Offerings and Products
The focus is on single-barrel products, ensuring each bottle is unique with a distinct flavor profile that changes with aging and environmental factors.

Bourbon and Rye Whiskies: The primary spirits offered are single-barrel bourbons and rye whiskies.
Other Spirits: They also offer moonshines and Prototype Gins at their gift shop.

Private Barrel Selections: The distillery provides a private barrel selection program, allowing customers to hand-select a barrel and design custom labeling for their own unique product.

Events: Both locations are available for private events like weddings and gatherings, and regularly host public events with live music.
