Castle & Key The Untold Story of Kentucky Whiskey Chapter 4
THE UN-TOLD STORY OF KENTUCKY WHISKEY
Single Barrel Aged 5 Years
CHAPTER 4
"At the time, Black workers were barred from holding the title of 'distiller' or participating openly in alcohol production. Despite this, Peters played a pivotal role behind the scenes at the Old Taylor Distillery, now Castle & Key. His legacy was clouded by a false accusation of barrel theftîa scheme later revealed to be the work of two others, who were later convicted.
Peters’ story highlights the essential, yet often overlooked, contributions of Black individuals to bourbon’s history. Honoring his legacy reminds us of the need to amplify silenced voices, celebrating a heritage built by many. In remembering the past, we strive for a more inclusive and equitable future. K.B., B.A."
"Among Kentucky’s heirloom grains, Hickory King corn stands tallîa legacy rooted in history, much like the untold stories of Black communities interwoven with Kentucky’s bourbon heritage. One such story is that of Dallas Peters, a Black man from Millville, KY, whose life intertwined with bourbon and the social struggles of an era marked by prejudice. Born in 1892, Peters married into Brack Beverly’s family, linking him to a lineage of African Americans who contributed significantly, yet often invisibly, to America’s native spirit."
