In 1866, J.W. Kelly founded Deep Spring Distillery in Chattanooga, TN. His goal was to create the finest whiskey. Kelly’s use of old-world pot distillation and custom mixture of corn, malted rye, and barley helped create a unique blend.
His brand set the standard of excellence and was very prosperous not just throughout the South, but also the world. Now, more than 100 years later, his dream lives on as a world-class spirit with Chattanooga soul.
OLD MILFORD
STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
The spirit of J.W.Kelly’s original bourbon, born in 1866 in Chattanooga TN, is captured by marrying 5-, 6-, and 8-year-old aged barrels of bourbon, hand selected by the JWK crew. This Old Milford Straight Bourbon Whiskey is handcrafted in 3,000-gallon pot stills to give it bold and unique characteristics.
The J.W.Kelly Old Milford Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a wonderful caramel color with spicy flavor notes of oak, white pepper, vanilla and English toffee. The unique blend teases your palate with honey, baking spice and nutmeg as well as hints of coffee and fine chocolate. The finish is long with cinnamon, white pepper, barrel char and a slow warming heat. This is an amazing drink that needs nothing added. Enjoy it straight up or with a cube of ice.

SINGLE BARREL SELECT
STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
Also born and raised in the scenic city of Chattanooga TN, J.W. Kelly’s original Single Barrel Bourbon was bottled at cask strength, creating a handmade style with its own unique flavors. Reborn in 2016, this unique single barrel, coming in at 109 proof, is hand bottled and double oaked. Every barrel is selected from barrels 5-8 years old. Once the barrel has been selected it is then transferred into a new American oak barrel and aged for another 8-12 months.
Every barrel will be different and have its own personality. That’s the benefit of a single barrel, amazing taste, flavors and an amazing surprise with every glass.

Kelly’s timeless reputation.
