Castle & Key Distillery brings new life to Frankfort historic site Four-plus-year renovation of legendary property results in tourism destination, promise of 100 new jobs By Nicole Burton/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - At today's opening of Castle & Key Distillery, Gov. Matt Bevin congratulated the company's leaders on their $30 million renovation - a project expected to create 100 jobs in the coming years - and welcomed the public's return to the restored, long-dormant grounds of the former Old Taylor Distillery Co. in Woodford County. "In the middle of an international resurgence of Kentucky's bourbon industry, we welcome Castle & Key as another crown jewel of spirits production, tourism and hospitality," Gov. Bevin said. "I commend the owners' vision to resurrect the historic property and their team's tremendous effort in renovating and preserving the buildings and grounds, creating jobs and, as of today, opening to the public." Will Arvin and Wes Murry, founding partners of Castle & Key, bought the dilapidated property in 2014 and began an extensive historic renovation the same year. Work included creating a guest center in the original boiler room, installing new stills and rehabilitating the world's longest barrel warehouse. The team preserved the key-shaped peristyle springhouse, creek-fed well house and multiple other buildings and features. As well, they replanted the estate's sunken gardens and created a botanical walking trail on the 113-acre property.
