Spirits
The Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company also produces four whiskey spirits:
- Town Branch Bourbon - aged in new, charred white oak barrels - 80 proof
- Town Branch Rye - 100 proof
- Pearse Lyons Reserve (malt whiskey) - aged in spent bourbon barrels that have also been used to age the brewery's flagship Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale - 80 proof
- Bluegrass Sundown - a dark roasted coffee infused with Kentucky bourbon and sugar
The distillery began making spirits in 2007, and began selling them in 2011 after waiting for four years of aging.
In 2015, the distillery released its first specialty spirit, a 6-year single barrel version of its Town Branch Bourbon.
