Kentucky Mist Moving From Coal Country To Posh Development

Kentucky Mist, heretofore best known as the moonshine-making micro-distillery that got into a trademark tussle with the University of Kentucky, has announced they are moving on up. Currently located in Whitesburg, Kentucky, part of Southeastern Kentucky “coal country,” the distillery says they have at The Summit in Lexington.

The Summit at Fritz Farm is a new, upscale and mixed residential-retail development located on the southern outskirts of Lexington. It is best known for having managed to attract certain small, posh chains of stores that don’t have outposts outside of major cities on the coasts to the area. Among the whiskey-related features there is Whiskey Bear, a bar; and Smithtown Seafood, one of the restaurants owned by Ouita Michel, who also caters Woodford Reserve Distillery.

The announcement indicated the new location would open in June.
