LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A dozen state-of-the-art rickhouses will be built over the next six years in Elizabethtown.
Whiskey House of Kentucky partnered with the Koetter Group to build 12 rickhouses utilizing K-RAX barrel storage technology, according to a news release Monday. The new structures will be built on Whiskey Houser of Kentucky's property.
Each warehouse will be seven stories high and hold 48,048 barrels, officials said, designed to improve barrel maturation performance, enhance worker and contractor safety, reduce maintenance and strengthen structural integrity and longevity.
"As the leader in custom whiskey production, we want the most innovative and advanced rickhouses in the industry for our exclusive customers," Whiskey House co-founder and CEO David Mandell said in a news release. "The Koetter Group provides us with an incredible product that delivers significant improvements in warehouse maturation, air flow, safety, and durability."
According to a news release, the K-RAX warehouse design increases maturation performance and airflow by using a full-length vented cupola in conjunction with continuous floor vents around the perimeter of the building.
Whiskey House of Kentucky is located 106 Pritchard Parkway.
