T. W.
Samuels Distillery

Charles W.
Medley Distillery
in Owensboro, Kentucky,
where Wathen's Kentucky Bourbon was bottled, by the man who originally distilled it
for Glenmore Distillers. Charles and his son Sam have moved the bottling
operations to the Frank-Lin company in San Jose, California, and the brand
is slowly becoming available in more areas.

Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
near Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This was the old Hoffman distillery that
served as home for two generations of classic Old Rip Van Winkle whiskeys.
If the label says, "Lawrenceburg" it was from here.
Julian Van Winkle is now operating from the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort.
