OWENSBORO, KY. — Charleston, S.C.-based Terressentia Corp. has opened the O.Z. Tyler Distillery, the company’s bourbon distillery situated on 26 acres in Owensboro. The historic property dates back to the late 1800s and is now open following two years of renovations. The property is named after O.Z. Tyler, the co-inventor of Terressentia’s patented TerrePURE distilling process. The company plans to employ 75 staffers when fully operational. The distillery will produce more than 30,000 barrels of bourbon annually. Future plans for the property include increasing production to 75,000 barrels annually, building a visitor’s center and museum and becoming a stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
