Bespoken Spirits, a privately owned start-up distillery founded in 2019, has already made a name for itself in the spirits world, bagging over 150 medals in prestigious competitions through their unique spirit rectifying process. But here's the exciting part: they're bringing distillation to Kentucky, and Governor Andy Beshear couldn't be happier. He sees this as a move that adds momentum to Kentucky's iconic bourbon industry, further solidifying the state as the global leader in bourbon production. Cheers to that!
Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton also sees the tremendous potential of Bespoken Spirits in her city, noting that it's a perfect fit for the heart of bourbon country, where innovation and agriculture technology have found a thriving home.
Now, what sets Bespoken Bourbon apart from the rest? Their process is nothing short of revolutionary, finishing spirits in the barrel using oak staves to create bespoke flavors. This proprietary system uses less wood, energy, and water, making it a sustainable choice. And here's a fact that will make every bourbon lover smile: Bespoken Spirits loses less alcohol to evaporation.
In the words of Scott Savage, Vice President of Research, Development, and Production at Bespoken Spirits, "Rather than putting spirit into a barrel and waiting passively for nature to take its course, we instill the barrel into the spirit, actively and precisely controlling the process to deliver premium quality tailored spirits full of nuance and flavor."
As a born-and-raised Kentuckian and an engineer, Scott is thrilled to bring this company back to his roots, and he's confident that this move will enable faster growth with significant cost advantages.
So, Kentucky, get ready to toast to a bright future! Bespoken Spirits is not only adding high-paying jobs but also innovative flavor to the state's legendary bourbon industry. It's a journey worth toasting to.
