Whisky Advocate – Set to open this summer, the Whiskey House of Kentucky comes from three founders of Bardstown Bourbon Co.: David Mandell, John Hargrove, and Daniel Linde. Unlike many distilleries, which are ostensibly opened to make whiskey for their own brands and attract new fans, Whiskey House will be closed to the public, as it’ll be distilling exclusively for those who need highly customizable contract distillation, making it a sort of high-end and more experimental MGP. To that end, co-founder Mandell has said that there will be an infinite number of mashbill options, and customers will be able to pick custom toast and char levels for their barrels.
