Castle & Key Finally Has An American Whiskey To Call Its Own Castle & Key Finally Has An American Whiskey To Call Its Own The saga of the Castle & Key distillery out of Kentucky is one we’ve documented well here at The Whiskey Wash since it first came on the radar back in 2014 at the site of the historic and pretty well abandoned Old Taylor Distillery. It has been a heck of a ride for those working there in the ensuing years, most of that time under the helm of female master distiller Marianne Eaves. She’s been gone from there for a bit now, but in her wake work has continued, and now the first true whiskey under their brand has recently emerged.
