B.H. James Distillers is based in Adairville, Kentucky, crafting spirits that are equal parts heritage and intent. The portfolio spans two lanes: Burton James Uniquely American Whiskey, and James Lake Spirits, a vodka line distilled from American-grown (naturally gluten-free) corn and finished with natural botanicals. It’s the kind of stop that feels local in the best way, but pours like it belongs on a serious back bar.
