Jeptha Creed Distillery Celebrated by Courier Journal Following USA TODAY “10 Best Craft Whiskey” Recognition

At Jeptha Creed Distillery, we’re proud to be a part of Kentucky’s rich craft-spirits legacy — and recently received a significant nod from the Courier Journal after our inclusion in USA TODAY’s “10 Best Craft Spirits” list. This national recognition underscores the farm-to-glass commitment we bring to every bottle.

As featured by the Courier Journal, the distillery’s mention in USA TODAY’s prestigious roundup signals a major milestone for Jeptha Creed. Our unique process — growing heirloom Bloody Butcher corn right on our Shelby County farm, using that grain in our mash bills, and overseeing fermentation, distillation and aging — sets us apart in the craft-spirits world.

Being referenced in the Courier Journal story tied to USA TODAY’s top list helps amplify that story of place, provenance and craftsmanship. It positions us not just as a local Bourbon Country favorite, but as a nationally-recognized name in craft spirits.

For our visitors, fans and bottle seekers, this recognition means one thing: when you pour Jeptha Creed, you’re drinking the real deal — a distillery rooted in its farmland and committed to authenticity.
