The same old-country artisans who directed construction of these nearly 200 year-old
structures crafted their whiskey in copper pot stills. At Labrot & Graham, we're very
proud of our heritage and want to continue the traditions started here by our ancestors, so
we're following their example. In fact, L&G is the only distillery in Kentucky today
making Bourbon using copper pot stills, the traditional method of distillation.
Copper is an excellent metal for use in distilling. It's sanitary, an excellent heat conductor, and
also reacts favorably with alcohol vapors, imparting unique qualities that make for a superior
whiskey. In Scotland and Ireland, pot stills are still used today for distilling Scotch and Irish whiskey.
A. Forsythe & Son, one of the world's foremost coppersmiths, made our stills at their fine
facilities in Rothes, Scotland expressly for us.
