Our Story
The origin of the name Dueling Grounds Distillery lies in the history of Franklin, Ky. Very near our present day location was a well know dueling grounds where disputes were settled at 20 paces. The area was known as Linkumpinch. Follow history and taste our bourbon and spirts still made the ancient way, with only non GMO grains grown on a single farm within a wagon’s drive from the distillery.
