Austin, Nichols Distilling Co., Inc. has unveiled its distillery expansion in Lawrenceburg. The new $50 million distillery is expected to allow the company to double its production to meet the growing global demand for its Bourbon and rye whiskies. The new 134,000 square foot facility is capable of producing up to 11 million proof gallons of liquid annually, up from the 5 million proof gallons of the previous distillery which was first put into operation back in 1869. The new distillery features multiple upgrades, including improved emissions controls, water recycling and a renewable fuel system. The first aged Wild Turkey from the new distillery will be available to whiskey fans in 2016. The brands produced at the Wild Turkey distillery include the iconic Wild Turkey 101, Wild Turkey 81, Wild Turkey Rye, Rare Breed, Kentucky Spirit, Russell's Reserve, and American Honey.
