The Nethery family has put their hearts and souls into every thoughtful detail behind JCD. It shows.

Jeptha Creed’s 2023 numbers reveal another year of growth for the bourbon distillery. Experiencing an increase of guest visits to their Shelbyville location, traffic increased about 20% overall. Guest traffic grew from their 2022 record high of 52,500 visitors, to 63,000 visitors in 2023. 55% of visitors came from out-of-state or country, with the remaining 45% hailing from Kentucky. Traffic to the distillery was influenced by, not only being named Shelbyville’s #1 destination by Trip Advisor, but exciting new happenings, such as: the return of their Jammin’ At Jeptha concert series, their new Fall Harvest Festival, new tour & tasting experiences, and the release of batch 2 of their Red, White, & Blue Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

After seeing success in 2023, Jeptha Creed’s team has ramped up their efforts to maintain momentum in 2024. Their goals for 2024 are no less ambitious, including: releasing their 6 Year Wheated Bourbon, offering new experiences at their visitor center, and opening distribution to new states, to name a few. Expectations are higher than ever for this woman-owned, family-operated craft bourbon brand.

Whats your hometown distillery?

Our hometown distillery is Jeptha Creed Distillery and they have just released a their first bottled in bond high rye bourbon. They were kind enough to give us a bottle to review. The new rye bourbon, the distillery noted, is available for purchase in Jeptha Creed’s distillery gift shop, and online for shipping to KY, ND, AK, D.C., and in select stores throughout KY and IN. It will be available in select stores throughout IL, TN, and MO in March of 2022. This craft distillery that sites just off I-64 at Exit 32 is a must visit, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

“Ne Oublie” is a Scottish Gaelic saying meaning “Never Forget,” a phrase that’s been passed down through the Nethery family for generations. Jeptha Creed was founded on the motto “Don’t Forget Where You Came From,” and they hold true to that to this day. With their incredibly well-rounded backgrounds, creativity, unparalleled work ethic and love for the rich heritage of Kentucky and Scotland. Today they are farming around 1000 acres throughout Shelby County and use the distillery to turn their harvest into something truly special. That’s what we call farm to glass.

We hope you enjoy Jim and Mike’s review.  Be sure to check out the podcast episode on your favorite platform.    Cheers!
