Along the banks of many Kentucky rivers and streams, you’ll find the ruins of an old grist mill. Farmers and homesteaders relied on the grist mill for flour and cornmeal. Some grist mills also installed saws to process lumber from nearby forests. The Lexington Hearth Grist Mill mantel harkens back to an era when industrialization first came to the frontier.
Grist mills and saw mills brought industrialization to the frontier to serve the ever-growing influx of people moving to Kentucky. Using waterwheel power, some grist mills could process 5000 pounds of wheat and another 3000 pounds of corn per day. The abundance of corn grown in Kentucky is why fifty percent of Kentucky whiskey’s grain bill is made from corn. This unique “corn” whiskey came to be known as Bourbon.
Lexington Hearth had to include a Grist Mill mantel in their Bluegrass Collection to honor the historical connection to their beloved bourbon, farming, and pioneering spirit.
