The Bardstown- Nelson County Chamber of Commerce would like to welcome RD1 Spirits. In 1865, the Ashland Distillery was established, the first to obtain a federally registered distillery license, and was assigned RD#1. Located on Manchester Street at the city limits of Lexington, KY, today, the remains of the original distillery can be found at what is now the entrance to Lexington’s Distillery District. In 2021, RD1 Distillery was reborn with the mission to bring a portfolio that inherits the storied history of the distillery but also a quality worth of Lexington’s legendary whiskey heritage. So the next time you're in Lexington, stop by RD1 Spirits and enjoy a nice cocktail. For further information please contact them at 859-407-2827. Please like and follow them on Facebook. Wm. Tarr Distillery
