The Maven Distillery in Shelbyville, Kentucky spent roughly a decade assembling what it calls one of the most diverse privately owned bourbon libraries in America through self-distillation, custom-specified sourcing, and selective barrel acquisition (IJW Whiskey Company). Master Distiller Kevin Curtis, Master Blender Steve Hughes, and Associate Master Blender Ashley Moore lead the program. The 2026 flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon leans on proprietary toasting across five oak species.

Owned by IJW Whiskey Company.
