Our whiskey is hand made a batch at a time. It is not the easiest, but it is the best. We combine the purest locally grown grains and natural spring waters, and then carefully ferment them together. We patiently distill that fermentation, monitoring every drop. The batch process insures the cuts are made, by hand, to insure the purity and gentle flavors you will taste in every bottle.
Rum is at the heart of our distillery. With ties to centuries-old Caribbean methods using only locally grown sugar cane and
natural spring water to create a distinctly sweet and succulent spirit. Batch made and pain-stakingly distilled and aged with
distinct oak and spice flavors. Our Rum is top shelf.
Our research and family records indicate numerous generations of our family were distillers, who settled in the south central regions of Kentucky up to the Civil War era. Although ship manifests were poorly kept, the names indicate the initial charters were financed by our direct ancestors, and suggest they brought with them the skill sets of distillation.
This family owned and operated business was founded on June 18, 2012 by two brothers, Tim and Paul James. Their ancestors are of English and German heritage where great brewing is a time-honored tradition, which they brought to this country in the early 1700s as Palatine immigrants.

There is a difference between craft and production spirits. Just as there is a difference between family and corporate business. It takes time to produce a craft spirit, which makes it difficult to copy. It also takes care, which cannot be duplicated. Our Spirits have a gentler taste and aroma, which often puzzles our customers at first. See for yourself why we aren’t on the beaten path.
James Two Brothers Distillers is a micro-distillery for small boutique-style production of beverage grade spirit alcohol with simple principles; hard work and honesty. As it was carved into our family crest over four centuries ago stands the latin phrase “Fac Recte Neminem Time” – Do right and fear no one.
