In this episode of The Mash Bill Podcast, Whitney Rye sits down with the three visionary founders behind Old Steelhouse Distillery—a once-abandoned industrial site now undergoing a remarkable revival. Located in the heart of bourbon country, Old Steelhouse is being carefully reimagined from the ground up using original blueprints, historical archives, and a fierce commitment to preserving legacy.
We explore the hidden history of this long-forgotten site, the renovation process that’s as ambitious as it is authentic, and the founders' belief that they could bring something great back to life. From architecture to mash bills, this behind-the-scenes tour of a distillery not yet open to the public offers a rare glimpse into what it takes to revive bourbon tradition—one brick and barrel at a time.
Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast, bourbon historian, or lover of comeback stories, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
