Castle & Key releases first gin, vodka and they’re going fast

Castle & Key, the Woodford County distillery that is rising from the defunct distillery formerly known as Old Taylor, has released its first spirits: A London dry gin and a vodka.

Bottles went on sale this month and quickly sold out at Liquor Barn in Beaumont after a bottle signing. They hit shelves in Lexington, Louisville and will be coming soon to Nashville.

Master distiller Marianne Eaves will do a bottle signing and tasting at the Liquor Barn in Middletown in Louisville on April 20 from 4 to 7 p.m.

The limited “Restoration” releases, which are also available in the distillery gift shop, have been selling quickly. You can also book a Restoration tour through May at Castleandkey.com to see all the progress Barnes and co-owner Will Arvin and Wes Murry have made, including the garden renovated by Jon Carloftis.
