Honoring Veterans in Bardstown: A Heartfelt Salute from the Bourbon Capital

As Veterans Day is here, Bardstown Tourism celebrates the incredible stories of service, sacrifice, and community that define our great nation. This year, we are especially proud to honor Bardstown Bourbon Company and Four Branches Bourbon, two exceptional brands dedicated to supporting veterans and armed forces initiatives. Last week, Bardstown Bourbon Company was the proud backdrop of the Today Show featuring our friends Four Branches Bourbon. With Bardstown Bourbon Company being led by veterans themselves, the commitment to supporting veterans’ causes is woven into the very fabric of Bardstown’s bourbon community.

Four Branches Bourbon, created by veterans from four military branches—Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force—embodies a dedication to honoring those who serve. This remarkable bourbon, crafted with a unique four-grain mash bill, offers not only a distinctive taste but a profound mission. In less than two years, Four Branches Bourbon has raised over $370,000 for charities supporting veterans, demonstrating their commitment to giving back to those who protect and serve. Bourbon Hall of Famer and Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Master Distiller Steve Nally was a huge part in helping the brand find their footing with their mashbill and the blend was crafted up at Bardstown Bourbon Company — with whom the brand is already concocting its next venture.

We’re thrilled that Bardstown could be the stunning backdrop for Four Branches Bourbon’s recent feature on the Today Show, shining a national spotlight on their mission. With the historic charm and vibrant bourbon culture of our town and one of our world-renowned distilleries on display, we invite everyone to tune in and catch a glimpse of our beloved Bardstown in the background! You might recognize some of our sights while you hear more about Four Branches Bourbon’s inspiring journey and unique partnerships.

As we celebrate Veterans Day in Bardstown, we’re honored to support the impactful work of Bardstown Bourbon Company and Four Branches Bourbon. Together, we raise a glass to our veterans and invite everyone to join us in celebrating these dedicated brands and the incredible stories behind each pour.
