Coal Pick Distillery is a craft operation producing 5,600 barrels annually, proudly rooted in the heart of Kentucky. Every drop of our bourbon is distilled using a sweet mash process in traditional pot stills, fueled by locally sourced grains. Our setup includes three pot stills running in unison, each equipped with four-plate copper columns to ensure a clean, high-quality spirit that reflects our exacting standards.

With private on-site barrel storage, we control every step of the process—from grain to glass. In addition to our own brand, we offer contract distillation services for other distilleries, private investment groups, and barrel brokers. Whether it’s a custom mash bill or an industry-standard recipe, we produce bourbon with integrity, precision, and pride.
This is hand-crafted Kentucky bourbon—made the hard way, the right way.


The Distillery

Our Rick Houses

Coal Pick worked very closely with the state of Kentucky to get approval on the first Steel Rack house in the commonwealth and we are very proud of this accomplishment. We use forklifts for moving the bourbon barrels into their new home where they will sit for no less than two years during their aging process. Many of them will be there for 4-8 years. A few special barrels hidden away by the owners won’t see much light for 12 years!

We’re also excited to announce that we’ve begun building another rick house on our Coal Pick property!
