The Kentucky Distillers' Association is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1880 that represents Kentucky's bourbon and distilled spirits sector. Based in Frankfort, Kentucky, it unites industry participants to promote, protect, and elevate the Commonwealth's signature spirits. The organization operates as a 501(c)(6) entity with an open membership policy and emphasizes responsible consumption and efforts to curb underage drinking and drunk driving. In early 2026, governance updates included the appointment of a new chair and other board officers, reflecting ongoing leadership changes. The association has advanced initiatives such as a 2026 Leadership Academy and participation in events like the World Bourbon Toast.
