Whiskey House of Kentucky Secures Fourth ISO Certification in Two Years
Elizabethtown’s Whiskey House of Kentucky has secured ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for laboratory testing, marking its fourth international certification in just two years. This achievement, a first for the distilling sector, validates the facility’s technical rigor and data reliability for its custom spirit production clients.
This latest milestone follows a January sweep of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. By integrating these management systems, the distillery aims to maintain high standards across environmental responsibility, occupational health, and product quality. The company is now preparing for a November audit for FSSC 22000, which would represent its fifth major certification. President and COO John Hargrove stated that these efforts are intended to elevate the expectations for contract distilling by blending advanced manufacturing practices with high-confidence technical data.
