Opened in January of 2024, Garrard County Distilling Co. is a massive independent distillery located in Kentucky with a 50,000-square-foot distillery and two 20,000-square-foot barrelhouses.

This award-winning whiskey is made up of existing stocks from well-known distilleries all over the Blue Grass State. A blend of 5-7-year old bourbons, the mash bills are: 75% corn, 12% rye, 13% malted barley; 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley; and 64% corn, 24% rye, 12% malted barley, respectively.

The barrels that make it up were first matured in #4 alligator char barrels in Clermont, Danville, Owensboro, and Boston, Kentucky. The final aging occurred at Garrard County Distilling.

According to the brand, the result is a 96-proof, memorable whiskey that begins with a nose of leather, clove, spices, vanilla beans, caramelized sugar, and toasted marshmallows. The palate is a mix of pears, honey, black tea, and tobacco smoke. The finish is a mix of candied nuts and cracked black pepper.

The name is a reference to the poster that adorned bar walls in the late 1800s during a woman named Carry (or Carrie) Nation’s radical temperance movement. Born in Garrard County, she would attack bars and saloons with her hatchet. Establishments would put up posters that stated: “All Nations Welcome Except Carrie.”

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

What really is the difference between these two liquors?

I've been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I've learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka --this is especially true when both are unaged. Appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. Although, the same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff is when the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.
