J.K. Williams Distilling

Just like J.K. in his day, the current Williams generation is in the midst of raising families in Central Illinois while creating our own craft whiskey legacy. We’re taking J.K.’s vision into the future while retaining the heritage of incredible small-batch whiskey that is tied to the Williams name. Maybe it’s the promise of full-flavored bourbon and whiskey made in a small-batch pot still that evokes our great-great-grandpa’s vision. Or maybe it’s a desire to bring back the spirit of adventure that fueled the era of bootlegging during Prohibition. Luckily, we aren’t forced to work as outlaws to create high-quality whiskey and bourbon. Despite having an easier path behind and ahead of us, we hope J.K. Williams would be as proud as we are of our craft spirits made in the distinctive style for which he was known around these parts.
