Trackside Distilling Company, established in 2025 in Oldham County, Kentucky, is the brainchild of Master Distiller Jade Peterson and industry veteran Jeremy Dever. Peterson, also affiliated with Kentucky Artisan Distillery, curated a personal collection of exceptional whiskey barrels over a decade, which became the foundation for Trackside’s inaugural release. The “Trackside Founder Release 2025” is a Kentucky bourbon crafted from a unique chocolate malted, four-grain mash bill and aged for at least four years. This limited-edition bourbon, bottled at 93 proof, offers tasting notes of sweet confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, roasted cocoa, dark chocolate, smoky oak, cherries, and candied stone fruit. Available at select Kentucky retailers, including the Kentucky Derby Museum Gift Shop, it reflects a harmonious blend of racing heritage and bourbon craftsmanship.
