ABOUT NICHOLAS NICK LEWIS

I support our sales efforts for two emerging Kentucky brands. Our primary goal is to enhance availability and brand awareness by fostering lasting partnerships. Our team has contributed to exceeding traditional sales trends, strengthening brand loyalty, connecting with distributors and retailers, and expanding our presence in key American Whiskey markets. I offer guidance and leadership by aligning retail opportunities, reinforced with hospitality, strategic planning, and decision-making to drive each brand to its goals with confidence and commitment.In 2014, Bardstown Bourbon Company began construction in the Bourbon Capital of the World™, Bardstown, KY. When we opened our doors to the public in late 2018, we quickly became an icon of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail® as we were the first distillery in the US to house a culinary offering, beverage program, and world-class distillation, all under one roof. In 2019, we introduced our brand to a handful of core states. Since then, the company and brand have experienced extensive growth, with over-indexed results in each of our markets. With the addition of Green River Distilling in 2022, we now have two distilleries and two innovative brands under one organization. Initially, we produced just barrels annually, but now our company can produce a dual total of barrels annually. In a few short years, our brands are positioned to be one of the top 10 Ultra-Premium and Super-Premium brands in the US.
