From the land
to the hand
Located on a 127-acre working farm in rural Franklin County, Kentucky. We grow our corn and grain used in our pot-still single distillation process. If you are traveling through Kentucky, we are easy to find – a half-mile north of I-64 at exit 48 (Graefenburg/Lawrenceburg exit).
ITS LIKE A living room with your best friends, bourbon, AND A food truck
It feels like your favorite hangout — if your home had views of a barrel-filled warehouse, a rotating cast of bourbon lovers, and a food truck serving up scratch-made bites.
At Whiskey Thief, we’ve created a space that’s as unpretentious as it is unforgettable. Bring your friends, pull up a chair, let us pour you something bold, taste at your own pace, and stay a while. The whiskey’s flowing, the cocktails are crafted, the food’s delicious, and the vibe is just right.
EVERY BARREL TELLS A STORY
No two barrels are alike — and that’s the magic. Each one breathes, expands, and contracts with the weather, shaping the whiskey inside with its own character. From the grain, to the oak, to where it rests in the rickhouse; every detail leaves its mark on the spirit.
The terroir in this part of Kentucky is legendary for making the greatest Bourbon!
That’s why each barrel at Whiskey Thief holds a story all its own — unrepeatable, unmistakable, and ready to be discovered.
WHISKEY GROWN HERE
Tucked into the rolling hills of Franklin County, our farm is more than a backdrop, it’s the source. Grain planted here is distilled on site, yielding whiskey that carries the spirit of Kentucky in every pour. Just off I-64, yet a world away.
OUR PRO SHOP
Part bottle shop, part gift shop, all Whiskey Thief.
After your tasting, swing through our Pro Shop — home to everything we craft and curate. You’ll find our full line of on-site-only spirits, including: moonshines, our Prototype Gins, seasonal releases, and exclusive single barrels.
We also stock a mix of bourbon gifts, the best of Kentucky-made goods, and Whiskey Thief swag you won’t find anywhere else. And yes, we’ve got branded stuff to prove you were here.
More than a gift shop — it’s a showcase of Whiskey Thief, Kentucky, and craft. (plus Star Wars, and Goats, and...)
HOST EVENTS AT OUR DISTILLERY
