Confidential Distillery
Lebanon, KY
LJC worked on the design of this iconic, signature brand home for a leading bourbon company. In collaboration with Clayco and BRC Imagination Arts, the LJC team created a unique guest-tasting experience concept to welcome bourbon enthusiasts on the historic Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
The overall design pays homage to the brand’s tradition of innovation and experimentation. Settled atop a prairie hilltop, the roofline flows with the undulations of the rolling Kentucky landscape, imitating the distinct shape of the brand’s bottles and celebrating one of the firm’s triumphs: batches of bourbon hyper-aged by the ocean’s churning. Fins along the curtain wall repeat this curving motif while protecting inhabitants from the glare of the setting sun.
Within, the expanse of glass frames views of the native landscape and the new, state-of-the-art distillery down the hillside. With this backdrop, visitors experience playful tasting rooms and a refined bar and lounge where they can learn, live, and taste the extraordinary expressions of the firm’s signature products.
