Coxs Creek: Bourbon and Early History

A bourbon visit in Coxs Creek can start at the Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling Facility. Visitors can see how the distinctive bourbons are bottled and stored there. The facility is located at 624 Lotus Road in Coxs Creek, Kentucky. This gives you a specific place to connect an interest in bourbon with a visit to the destination.

See and Taste Bourbon

At Four Roses, bottling and storage are in the spotlight. This makes the visit different from a tasting and offers a clear way to decide when comparing different bourbon experiences: Would you like to see how distinctive bourbons are bottled and stored, or are you more interested in tasting different finishes?

At Cox's Creek Distilling Company, visitors can taste six different finishes in the barrel room, selected from more than 40 barrels. The company makes bourbon. Its stated address is 6628 Clermont Road in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. This distinction matters when choosing where to go: the Four Roses Warehouse & Bottling Facility is in Coxs Creek, while the stated address of Cox's Creek Distilling Company is in Shepherdsville. This lets you weigh the type of experience and the location together without confusing the similar-sounding name with the address.

Cox's Station and Early History

The site of Cox's Station is described as the first settlement in Nelson County, Kentucky. Cox's Station was established in 1775 by Colonel Isaac Cox. In 1780, the Jefferson County surveyor's office was located there. These details highlight different aspects of the history: the first describes its status as a settlement, the second the establishment of the station, and the third a later use.

The dates form a simple timeline. The station was established in 1775; five years later, the Jefferson County surveyor's office was located there. Those interested in early settlement history as well as bourbon will find specific historical dates here that can be distinguished from one another: a founding and a later institutional use.
