🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Hidden little Gem in Adairville – B.H. James Distillers
Tucked away in the charming town of Adairville, Kentucky, B.H. James Distillers offers a unique and heartfelt whiskey experience. Founded in 2022 by Shawn McCormick, the distillery pays homage to his great-grandfather, Burton Hulon James, a professional baseball player who settled in Adairville in 1919. The distillery is housed in the historic old fire station, adding a touch of nostalgia to the visit.
During my visit, I was warmly welcomed by Shawn McCormick himself who shared stories of the distillery's heritage and the meticulous process behind their spirits.
The tasting room, though modest, exudes charm and authenticity. I had the pleasure of sampling their signature Burton James Uniquely American Whiskey, a blend of hand-selected barrels that offers a delightful balance of flavors.

The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great stop for whiskey enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.

It is quite the setup. I hope you enjoy it as...
