Overview
Johnny Drum Bourbon is a Kentucky bourbon brand from Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. The brand is part of the broader Willett and Kentucky Bourbon Distillers portfolio, sitting alongside Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek, Pure Kentucky, Kentucky Vintage, Old Bardstown, and Willett Pot Still Reserve.
Johnny Drum is important because it represents the more traditional, legacy-label side of Willett’s bourbon lineup. While Willett Family Estate often receives collector attention, Johnny Drum is a useful window into the company’s long-standing bourbon labels.
