The Big Spring Distillery |
|
The Big Spring Distillery (later the Big Spring Distilling Co.) maintained an office in Louisville from at least 1881. Insurance company underwriter records from 1892 suggest that the Big Spring distillery was adjacent to and operated in concert with the Coon Hollow distillery , both located at Coon Hollow Station in Nelson County. The property was extensive, with a double frame distillery and frame cattle barns 180 ft west of the stills. There were six bonded warehouses and an annex, as follows: Warehouse A -- iron clad with a metal or slate roof, 327 ft west of the still. Part of the warehouse was Free. Warehouse B -- iron clad with a metal or slate roof, 112 ft NW of the still, 12 ft from Warehouse A. Warehouse C -- iron clad with a metal or slate roof, 240 ft NW of the still, 4 ft from Warehouse B and 15 ft from No. 1 Warehouse No. 1 -- brick with a metal or slate roof, 100 ft west of the still Warehouse No. 2 -- brick with a metal or slate roof, 150 ft west of the still, 10 ft from No 1 Warehouse No. 3 -- brick with a metal or slate roof, 150 ft west of the still: records are confusing but this may have been a Free subsection of No. 2. Annex -- iron clad with a metal or slate roof, 300 ft NW of the still. The insurance records note that the distillery was being run by Chas. L Krigger, as Alvin Wood & Co. In 1900, both distilleries became a part of the Whiskey Trust and under the control of Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse Co. Aliases that this distillery's product was sold under |
