The Distillery Story<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Father-and-Son Distillery Shaped by Research and Experimentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The roots of Hot Springs Distilling trace back to a 2013 father-and-son trip to Scotland, where Keith and Scott Atkinson toured distilleries and studied the traditions behind Scotch whisky. After returning home, they continued visiting large Kentucky producers and smaller craft operations across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That research helped shape a production philosophy that combines established whiskey-making practices with the flexibility of a small operation. The distillery uses its size to test mash bills, refine processes, release limited batches, and put a local spin on classic American spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keith serves as general manager and brings business, academic, and extensive distillery-tour experience to the operation. Scott, the head distiller, combines a technical background with hands-on fermentation and flavor experimentation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
