    Expert description

    Kentucky Tavern Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an American bourbon, bottled at 40%. The trademark was first registered in 1903 by the Glenmore Distillery Company, which itself had roots dating back to 1849 under the name R. Monarch Distillery, before James and Francis P. Thompson took over and renamed it in 1901. Kentucky Tavern quickly became Glenmore's flagship brand and one of the company's best-selling products throughout the 20th century. During Prohibition, Glenmore operated as a concentration warehouse, bottling and distributing medicinal whiskey. In 1992, the Thompson family sold the company to United Distillers, and in 1994 Kentucky Tavern became part of the Barton portfolio. Today the brand is produced by the Sazerac Company at the Barton Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
