Moonshine and Music

Jeptha Creed is Shelbyville’s craft distillery. This beautiful venue sets on 64 gently rolling acres brings to mind those upscale and elegant, warm and welcoming lodges one finds in a mountain resort, but this distillery with glowing wood floors and massive stone fireplace is Kentucky, right down to the heirloom Bloody Butcher corn seed used in making its bourbon.

This family-owned distillery specializes in high-end heritage distilled spirits: vodka, moonshine and bourbon. Many of the ingredients are grown right on Jeptha Creed farmland for an authentic ground to glass experience.

The distillery provides a weekly concert series featuring regional musicians, food trucks and the Jeptha Creed bar, which stays open until 10 p.m. Plenty of time to explore the distillery room, tasting station and gift shop, and relax or dance on the expansive outdoor patio.

Jammin’ At Jeptha brings out those who love music and dancing. Visit Jeptha Creed’s website for updates and more information.
