Many great whiskey stories start with a great-grandfather—including this one.

My great-grandfather, Burton Hulon (B.H.) James, played professional baseball from 1908 to 1919, until he moved down to Adairville, KY to raise his family. 100 years later, inspired by his legacy, I found myself back in Adairville following my own dream: To open this distillery in his name.
