DSP-KY-34
Est. 1835
Paducah, Kentucky
190 Years. One Name.
Old Terrell isn't a new brand borrowing an old look. It's a Kentucky distillery coming back to the address it left in 1916.
1835
Caleb Terrell starts distilling
On his farm outside Paducah, Caleb Terrell turns his own corn and Kentucky's limestone water into bourbon. What begins as farm distilling builds a following.
1903
Sid Terrell secures DSP-KY-34
Caleb's grandnephew makes it official, founding Old Terrell Distillery and earning one of Kentucky's earliest distilling licenses. The name becomes a respected one.
1916
Fire takes 1,300 barrels
A mailroom fire tears through the distillery, destroying roughly 1,300 barrels of whiskey and $150,000 in property. For 107 years, that was the end of the story.
2023
Logan Davis brings it back
Sid Terrell's great-nephew, born and raised in Paducah, restarts the family name — distilling with corn, wheat and rye grown on his own farm, exactly as Caleb did.
2026
The doors open on Jefferson Street
Construction is underway at 411–417 Jefferson St, the distillery's original home. Terrell Society members are there for all of it — from first pour to first stamp.
The Member Advantage
Reserve Bottles Before They're Released
Every allocated release goes the same way: it drops, it's gone, and you hear about it the next day. Members skip that entirely.
Log into the member portal and claim your bottle from an upcoming release before it ever reaches the public — single barrels, limited runs, distillery-only pours. No refreshing a page at 9 a.m. No driving to three stores. No losing out to a bot.
If you can see it in the portal, you can claim it.
1
A new release is posted to the member portal

3
It's set aside in your name before the public sees it
