Bottling and Tourism Associate

Part-time Tourism and Bottling Associate

Preservation Distillery is the region’s first and only 100% pot-distilled bourbon producer in Nelson County. We’ve been quietly distilling our unique bourbons in one-to-three-barrel batches since 2017. Our distillery and farm are located in the heart of the bourbon trail, right off the Bluegrass Parkway in Bardstown, Kentucky. The surrounding green pastureland encompasses what is now our distillery, based on the commitment to the art of slow distilling, and the goal of sustainability.

The Tourism and Bottling Associate will play a key role in the growth of our coveted whiskey brands. As a tourism and bottling associate, you will have the opportunity to learn both the manufacturing and hospitality side of the business simultaneously.
