Located just west of the Adairville Square sits B.H. James Distillers in the old Adairville Fire Station (originally the Oldham’s Sausage factory). Opened in 2022 by fifth generation Adairville resident Shawn McCormick, the distillery and its award-winning Burton James® Whiskey and Bourbon are named as an homage to his great-grandfather who played professional baseball from 1908-1919. The local corn, rye, and barley grown in the fields surrounding Adairville are used to distill their Kentucky Grit® Whiskeys. The premium James Lake® Vodkas complete the full line up of award winning spirits.
The legendary slushies draw people from near and far. Made with B.H. James Distillers’ own award-winning spirits and premium ingredients, you'll agree the slushies are worth the hype.
