Owned by the Kulsveen family and operating out of the silent Willett distillery, KBD had bourbon in their warehouses from every distillery in Kentucky bar one, Willett itself. The Kulsveen’s oversaw a golden period for the brand, with well-aged bourbons filled into a number of now hugely collectable Black Maple Hill releases. Although KBD had acquired some Stitzel-Weller stock, the majority of their casks came from the neighbouring Heaven Hill distillery in Bardstown, a distillery sadly lost in a fire in 1996 and increasingly desirable ever since.
