Limestone Branch Distillery

Short overview of the distillery

Limestone Branch Distillery is located in Lebanon, Kentucky, and was founded in 2010 by brothers Steve and Paul Beam. The distillery produces bourbon and moonshine and builds directly on the recipes and the 'DNA' that have been passed down through the Beam family over several generations. The brand presents itself as a continuation of a roughly 220-year-old distilling tradition and communicates an active presence via Instagram at @LimestoneBranch.

History

The Beam family has for several generations been involved in distilling; the ancestors were active for five generations until Prohibition halted the ongoing production. The heritage and recipes remained in the family, and in 2010 the brothers Steve and Paul Beam chose to establish Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky to revive production of bourbon and moonshine. The establishment is thus a deliberate step to rekindle the family's historic production methods and name the products after the family's tradition.

Raw materials and production

The production type is bourbon and moonshine, and the company emphasizes that mashing, fermentation, and distillation are built on the family's historical recipes and what is referred to as the family's 'DNA'. The description emphasizes the heritage and continuity in recipes and methods rather than detailed technical parameters. The concrete technical choices such as grain blends, distillation type, number of stills, and fermentation times are not specified in the extracted text.

Aging and barrel types

There is no further information about which barrel types, barrel characteristics, or aging practices are used. It is only emphasized that the production follows the family's traditional recipes without detailed aging details.

Whiskies

In the available text, production of bourbon and moonshine under the Limestone Branch name is mentioned, but there is no detailed list of specific bottles, age statements, or series on the extracted page.

Philosophy and craftsmanship

The company's stated values center on continuing the Beam family's craft and recipes across generations. Authenticity, historical continuity, and a family-honed product DNA are central elements in its communications and brand identity.
