Welcome to Blind 04 of our search for the best everyday bourbon in Kentucky. After tasting at some of the biggest Kentucky distilleries, it’s time to visit a few smaller ones.

In this episode of Artfully Bourbon, we rank the top Kentucky distilleries using a tier list approach, looking beyond just bottles to the full picture: consistency, reputation, lineup strength, price and what they actually deliver in the glass.

In this blind tasting, we put high proof wheated bourbons head-to-head, including Weller Antique 107, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, Holladay Rickhouse Proof, and a surprise mystery bottle, to find out what really deserves your money.

Step inside one of the most iconic bourbon distilleries in the world as we explore the hidden artistry behind Maker’s Mark. From the Kentucky hills to Star Hill Farm, this documentary goes deep into the history, craft, and innovation that shaped one of America’s most beloved whiskeys.
