About the product: Originally produced by Bernheim Distilling Company, Kentucky Crest Bourbon was a premium straight bourbon known for its rich character. First trademarked in 1934, it gained prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. Advertisements hailed it as “the quintessence of quality”, solidifying its status among the finest bourbons of its time. Though production ceased decades ago, 1797 Spirits is bringing Kentucky Crest back—paying tribute to its heritage while crafting a bourbon that meets today’s highest standards.
