Historic Bourbon Brand William Tarr Seeing A Revival In Kentucky
The William Tarr Distillery, located in Lexington, Kentucky, has been revived after nearly a century of dormancy as the new Wm. Tarr Distillery. A new group of investors took interest in it recently, and as they get it off the ground have released two new expressions to showcase it to a new world.
Jill Blakehorn, distillery CEO and also owner of an event venue and a catering company in Kentucky, is said to have discovered the history of William Tarr and wanted to bring the brand back to life with co-founder Barry Brinegar, a marketing executive.
