Bourbon Heritage
Bardstown produced bourbon for over 200 years, hosted Civil War rail depots, and served as the state’s first capitol site. The 1996 Heaven Hill fire, 2018 barrel warehouse collapse, 2020 tornadoes, and pandemic surges proved the need for local medical logistics. LAC Health provides hardened storage, x-proof packaging for distilleries, and MOUs with Nelson County EMA.
