Stitzel-Weller

Stitzel‑Weller Distillery is a historic bourbon distillery in the Shively suburb of Louisville, Kentucky, originally founded in 1935 and closely tied to classic American whiskey production. It became known for producing several notable wheated bourbons and played a significant role in the development of Kentucky bourbon before distilling operations ceased in the early 1990s. Today the site is owned by Diageo and operates as a public tourism and tasting destination featuring brands like Blade and Bow. Its legacy remains central to the story of Kentucky bourbon heritage.
