Commenting on the news, Donn Lux, Luxco Chairman and CEO, said: “We have worked diligently to find the perfect and most inspiring name for the new distillery and we are excited to have landed on the name Lux Row Distillers. We wanted the distillery, which represents a new chapter in our family and company evolution, to incorporate aspects of the Lux family name, the scenic property we are located on and the bourbon heritage of the area.”

The house boasts captivating views of the long and beautiful rows of trees that line the long driveway, which also provided inspiration for the distillery’s name, Lux Row.
