Rowan's Creek - Bourbon is produced in the United States using a mash bill built around grains such as corn, rye, and malted barley. The mash is cooked and fermented before being distilled, often in copper column or pot stills.

Maturation takes place in new, charred American oak barrels, where seasonal temperature swings drive spirit deep into the wood, extracting color and complexity. Warehouse management and barrel selection are critical, with blenders assembling lots that best represent balance and structure.

The result is a whiskey shaped by grain, oak, and time, reflecting both traditional craft and rigorous quality control.

Rowan's Creek

Rowan's Creek is a brand of small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Bardstown, Kentucky, by the Willett Distillery. The brand is named after a natural creek that runs through the grounds of the distillery, which in turn was named after John Rowan, a well-known statesman and judge in the late 1700s.

The brand's identity is closely tied to its family-owned production and its commitment to crafting a traditional Kentucky bourbon. For many years, Willett Distillery, also known as Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, sourced its whiskey from other distilleries. However, in recent years, as their own distilled whiskey has matured, they have transitioned to using their own distillate for brands like Rowan's Creek.

The whiskey is known for its high proof, bottled at 100.1 proof (50.05% alcohol by volume), which gives it a bold and robust character. The flavor profile is often described as having notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice, with a distinct oak presence and a long, warm finish. The brand is part of a portfolio of bourbons from Willett that also includes Noah's Mill and Johnny Drum, and it is recognized for its unique, handwritten-style label and its squat bottle design.
