The Carlisle Distillery
RD #2, 7 th District
Franklin County, KY



The Carlisle was built alongside the OFC distillery (RD #113, 7th. Dist.) on the Kentucky River, about 1 mile north of Frankfort.

Both distilleries were owned by E H Taylor Jr. around 1869.

Taylor borrowed heavily from George T Stagg of Richmond to complete the work, but Stagg foreclosed and took control of the distilleries and E H Taylor brand name (Cecil, 1999)

Insurance underwriter records compiled in 1895 describe the distillery property as including cattle in pens and three warehouses, all brick with metal or slate roofs:
Warehouse A -- located 325 ft NE of the still.
Free Warehouse -- -- 200 ft NE of the still and adjoining A.
Warehouse B -- 400 ft north.

At that time, it was being operated by Geo. T Stagg Co., also as E H Taylor, Jr. Co.

From 1910 until Prohibition, the distillery was running as the Kentucky River distillery.
