Our Story · Louisville, KY
A family legacy, bottled by hand.
Old Louisville Whiskey Co. was born from a love of whiskey and a love of one historic Louisville neighborhood.
Where it began
Rooted in Old Louisville
There's something special about a family-owned business. When you patronize one, you can't help but feel like you're supporting something bigger than just the product. You're supporting dreams, goals and a legacy. That's what you're supporting when you purchase a bottle of our whiskey.
It all started with a husband-and-wife duo, Amine and Beth Karaoud, who have a passion for whiskey and a love for their historic Louisville neighborhood. After selling several properties in the area, including the local favorite Red Castle Liquors, the Karaouds decided to start their very own Kentucky whiskey company.
They wanted to honor Old Louisville, known for its gorgeous Victorian mansions, with a whiskey brand that celebrates tradition and history. And that's exactly what they did.
"Old Louisville is really where we learned the trade of whiskey and gained our bourbon knowledge. Much like the neighborhood, we wanted to release a whiskey that was aged properly. It took patience, but it has been well worth it."Amine Karaoud, Co-Founder
