Welcome to Kentucky Hidden Wonders. I'm Janette Marson
Mason Warren:and I'm Mason Warren.
Janette Marson:Together, we're uncovering the secrets, stories and hidden gems of Shelby County.
Mason Warren:Kentucky From unforgettable places to off-the-beaten-path adventures. Join us as we explore Kentucky treasures and Shelby County's best-kept secrets.
Janette Marson:County's best kept secrets. Today on our show we have master distiller Joyce Nethery from Jeptha Creed Distillery here in Shelby County. Joyce, thanks so much for being with us. And before we start, go ahead and introduce yourself and tell the listeners a little bit about how you got started in this wonderful industry.
Joyce Nethery:Well cool, thank you all so much for having me. This is an awesome experience here to be with you today. Well cool, thank you all so much for having me. This is an awesome experience here to be with you today. Oh, thanks, I am Joyce with Jeptha Creed, and I am the mother half of our mother-daughter ownership team and mother-daughter running of the distillery. So it's a woman-owned, woman-run pretty awesome that way way, and the whole family is involved in what we're doing. So my husband is running the farm side of everything and, um, my son is helping us out here and there on different pieces and he is actually technically an owner of the distillery too fantastic but we are still majority woman owned and and woman-run and all those good pieces.
Janette Marson:We're going to stick with that Woman-owned yeah Mother-daughter team. Hardly any, but everybody else in the US does that.
Joyce Nethery:And we kind of came to the distilling from a very securitist root and the actual idea for doing the distillery was my husband's idea and he grew up as a Shelby County dairy farmer, so his family has been running dairies up until very recently in the county for three generations and they had the largest you know dairy herd, largest producing dairy herd.
Joyce Nethery:For a while here, until you know, the feed bill started exceeding the revenue from the milk and that just changed everything. But we kept the farm and the tractors and the corn planters and all of those pieces and my husband thought that building a distillery would be a fabulous idea. And through another story I eventually came to agree with him and you know. So now when I tell that story, I have to say my husband was right Building a distillery was a fabulous idea. And that's when we got started, and that was in January of 2013, that the whole family got on the same pattern, same wavelength about building a distillery. And so we're approaching. We started the distillery, actually opened it up to the public in 2016, november of 2016. So we're approaching, you know, nine years.
Janette Marson:That's fantastic and being open to the public now. And you've got a science background, don't you? Yes, so talk a little bit about that, like what kind of science and how that works in to the distilling.
Joyce Nethery:Well, my background, my degree, is actually in chemical engineering. I have a master's degree in chemical engineering from University of Louisville Speed Scientific School and my first job out of school was as a process engineer for a company called Roman Haas, which is now part of DuPont, and I was a process engineer in their distillation unit, distilling methyl methacrylate, and methyl methacrylate is a founding monomer in lots of different plastics and plastics additives. If you go get some acrylic paint, there will be some MMA in that. Acrylic fingernails there's some MMA in that, a lot fingernails. So there's some MMA in that. A lot of dental features Dental things have MMA in it. So what I've learned over time is if you are distilling MMA for plastic or if you are distilling ethanol for bourbon, the principles and applications and techniques are all very, very similar Wow.
Joyce Nethery:But bourbon is a lot more fun. But bourbon is a lot more fun.
Janette Marson:Bourbon is a lot more fun.
Joyce Nethery:Definitely.
Janette Marson:Yeah.
Joyce Nethery:So that is my science, chemical engineering background. But then I branched out, left engineering to become a high school chemistry and physics teacher oh, that works into it too Actually, at Shelby County High School. So I was with the Rockets. I graduated from Shelby County High School as a Rocket and I went back to teach at Shelby County High School as a Rocket, taught for several years and then left teaching to become a chief financial officer for my husband's company, and there I'm dealing with accounts payable and accounts receivable and depreciation schedules and taxes.
Joyce Nethery:All that fun fun stuff and what I've learned there. You know you take those pieces combined with the engineering, with the teaching, because teaching is important and it's it's tough, and one of the biggest things I learned from my teaching um stint is classroom management skills. And those classroom management skills and those classroom management skills come in really handy when you've got bachelor and bachelorette parties coming through the distillery.
Janette Marson:Oh my gosh, indeed, I've got a mental picture. I do too.
Joyce Nethery:I do too Sometimes they're kind of on the same mental plane, you know Right. So that came in very, very handy also. And then all the business background with the chief financial officer's positions. So that came in very, very handy also, and then all the business background with the chief financial officer's positions. So as I look at my career, I find it really serendipitous how all of those crazy moves I made all come together to be able to run the distillery Absolutely.
Mason Warren:So it's very, very awesome. So I know you said it was your husband's idea to start the distillery, but were you always going to the master distillery? But were you always going to do the master distillery? Even though you have this background in chemical engineering and everything? Was that always the plan?
Joyce Nethery:No, it actually wasn't always the plan. Our thought when we first started is that because we wanted this to be a multi-generational thing and we built it for the kids my daughter and my son so that we could be building a legacy and they could use this for their careers in the future. So our thought when we started is that Autumn my daughter would actually be the master distiller and at the time she was underage and we found no place in this country for her to go to school and learn the art and science of distilling, brewing and distilling adult beverages because she was underage. Thank goodness that is changing some and now there are programs that are opening up where you can study, you know, distilling while you're underage.
Joyce Nethery:You just can't taste anything, Right, which is still a problem, but it's changing, thank goodness, right, which is still a problem, but it's changing, thank goodness, yeah. So we sent her to Edinburgh, scotland, where she studied at Harriet Watt University and she learned lots of things while she was over there. One of the things she learned is that she does not like chemistry.
Janette Marson:Gotcha, so that's kind of a Good place to figure it out.
Mason Warren:Yeah, right, yeah.
Joyce Nethery:Kind of a problem for master distiller Gotcha, so that's kind of a place to figure it out. Yeah, yeah, kind of a problem for master distiller Right. So she came home and finished her degree and her true love and true passion, which is marketing and sales. She does a good job which is hugely important for the whole business. Oh, absolutely, you cannot have a successful distillery without good marketing and sales Right. So after that I became master distiller.
Janette Marson:Okay, defaulted back to me. Now. There is a wonderful story of how you came up with the name of Jeptha Creed. A little bit of the background. Can you tell our listeners how that all came about?
Joyce Nethery:What's the story behind it. Well, like I mentioned, my husband grew up as a dairy farmer and our dairy. We had a dairy of our own for a while also, but he grew up here in Shelby County working on dairies here in Shelby County, and he purchased property when he was 18, and this was the start of our home farm. He purchased this property and started his own tobacco and dairy business and that property is still where we live and that's our home farm. So that home farm is at the foothills of the Jeptha Knobs and we've expanded out. So now we actually have the Jeptha Knobs too. Not all of them, but we have a piece of the Knobs Gotcha. And those Knobs were named by Squire Boone and Daniel Boone when they came in and explored Kentucky in the late 1700s. They were attracted to those hills because there was a salt lake up there. So that's where the buffalo and the deer and the turkey were. So I like to say it was the grocery store of their day. Right, definitely.
Joyce Nethery:And we found documentation. At the Frazier History Museum and in several different places, we found documentation that says they named them Jeptha after the biblical warrior in Judges 11. So we want to be all about our local history, heritage and culture. My personal family history is right there. That's where I still live, that's where I raised my kids. I've got local and state history with the Boones and then I've got Bible history connected to the name. So we think Jeptha is perfect and then Creed is our promise to honor those values as we continue to grow and expand. So that's where we got Jeptha Creed. I love the name.
Janette Marson:I love the story behind it too. Your husband now has moved from dairy to corn. Jeptha Creed uses a wonderful unique corn. Can you talk a little bit about the ground to glass portion? Oh, she's brought a visual yes. Folks that are listening. It is dark red, so tell us about this ruby red corn that you're showing.
Joyce Nethery:Yeah this beautiful red corn right here is called Bloody Butcher. It is non-GMO, it is open pollinated and it has been documented in use since at least 1845. Yeah, so it's very, very old. And open pollinated means that each kernel on this cob is a seed. We save these seeds over the winter, plant them back the following spring and get the same exact corn again. So this is very sustainable. It is the way our great-grandparents lived and it makes us seed savers. So a lot of beautiful things connected to this corn, and it's red.
Janette Marson:And it has a beautiful unique flavor profile that we just love. Well, your product is wonderful.
Mason Warren:So the corn is kind of what we'll say, the base ingredient for the bourbon. You make an excellent bourbon, and so how does that impact the flavor or the flavoring impact of the corn? What is that on the bourbon?
Joyce Nethery:Well, that's one of the things that we have found over time with the other expressions of corn that we've grown also and made bourbon with and we can talk about more of those in a little bit. But we have found that the varietal of corn makes a flavor difference in the bourbon, a little bit like different varietals of grapes make different flavors in wines. So there's a little bit of that same connection going on. So the flavor of the bourbon, some of it, does get derived from the corn and this Bloody Butcher corn. If you've tasted our product, you will notice that there's a beautiful robustness to the flavor of our bourbons and that there is what I'm going to call some earthiness in the flavor of our bourbons. So you get some beautiful nuttiness but also some leather and dark cherry notes and things along those lines. So beautiful earthy flavors going on, and a lot of that is derived from this Bloody Butcher corn.
Janette Marson:Oh, very interesting. Yes, so you alluded to other products that you make In addition to your fabulous bourbons. What else do you distill?
Joyce Nethery:Well, we also distill vodka, and our vodka is distilled 100% from this Bloody Butcher corn and we are also making some moonshines, and the vodka and moonshines we actually opened up to the public with back in 2016, because bourbon has this thing where it needs to age for several years before you can bring it out as a product, and vodka and moonshine don't require that aging process. So we started out with the vodka and the moonshine and we are still producing the vodka and the moonshine, but now that we have our bourbon, the bourbon is our flagship, it was always intended to be our flagship and it is the product that we are really bringing out to the rest of the country. So the vodka and moonshine really right now is it's available in Kentucky, but specifically, primarily at the distillery gift shop. Okay, yeah, what we're taking out to the rest of the country, to our other states, where we are distributed, are our bourbons.
Janette Marson:Very good. A lot of times we'll run very, you know, every now and again you run into a person that doesn't like bourbon and we'll say, oh, but they make a great vodka and a moonshine, and they're like, oh, okay, I'm there, yes. So I'm glad you've diversified your product for all people.
Mason Warren:Yeah, so switching gears a little bit. And so Jep the Creed has hosted a ton of different events and concerts and things over the years and I have lots of great memories from those. But what's coming up? Do you have anything on the calendar that you can talk about?
Joyce Nethery:Yes, we do. We have a concert coming up in June and it's the opening of our summer concert series. It'll be a series of three and in June we have the Bacon Brothers coming. I'm very excited. I already have my tickets.
Janette Marson:I told my husband I canceled our vacation and we're going to that instead.
Joyce Nethery:Awesome, that is so exciting.
Janette Marson:But talk a little. So I love Kevin Bacon. I follow him on social media, and I know that he and his brother sing. What kind of music, though, do they do? I'm not really, you know. He'll sing on. Well, on his social media it's him and his guitar, and he sings with his goats, so I'm sure he's not bringing goats.
Joyce Nethery:I have seen his social media where he sings to the goats.
Janette Marson:That is pretty awesome, and I have seen him and his brother. Well, we'll just I'll just say it will be a surprise and I'm looking forward to it, and he's a big name. To my knowledge, he's not bringing the goats though. No, no goats people, no goats, but I'm excited about him, it will still be fabulous. Yeah, I mean, he's a big name. That's a big name to bring to Shelby County.
Joyce Nethery:Well, we are super excited about it. It's going to be awesome. The ticket number is limited. We have limited that number so that we make sure we have a fabulous experience for everybody who comes, and we're super excited it's going to be awesome. So you bring a chair. Yeah, you bring a chair with you. It is outside amphitheater style, and so you bring a chair and maybe, if you want to, a blanket to lay on. You know something along that line.
Joyce Nethery:We will have food trucks there. Obviously, we will have our cocktails and bourbons available at the bar and we will have a couple of you know beer tents out in the yard so that everyone has access to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. It is family-friendly, so you can bring the kids.
Joyce Nethery:Obviously, they can't have the alcohol, but everyone is welcome, and that's one of the fabulous things about our experiences with the concerts is that we can have three generations come and attend and everybody have a great time. The grandparents, the family, the kids. Everybody can have a great time. The grandparents, the family the kids.
Janette Marson:Everybody can have a great time at the distillery. Well, I think I bought my tickets. I saw one of your Facebook posts and I bought them through that link. Is it through the website? How can they purchase?
Joyce Nethery:Yeah, go to the Jeff the Creed website and you can get to the tickets through that. Okay, so that's June.
Janette Marson:That's in June. June 21st, okay, and then you said there's a couple more. Any names that you can mention?
Joyce Nethery:Well, we're still working on the second one, so the date has not yet been totally pinned down, but the first weekend in October will be our Harvest Festival and that one we have lined up a lot, our harvest festival, and that one we have lined up a lot. We are through our red, white and blue bourbon. We are through that bourbon. We are giving a portion of the proceeds of each bottle of bourbon to a veterans organization and this year we are working with creative vets in nashville and creative vets works with a lot of warriors, veterans, to express some of the stresses and things that they've had the PTSDs through writing songs and also painting, paintings and several other different artistic things. Bringing on the Harvest Festival the first weekend of October, a lot of different veterans who have written songs and played music and there'll be several different creative bands that will be playing that day.
Mason Warren:It'll be awesome. Yeah, that'll be fun. The Harvest Festival is always fun. Has anyone gotten lost in the corn maze and had to send out a search team for anyone there before?
Joyce Nethery:We haven't actually had to send out a search team. We have had people hang out in there for quite a while, okay, but everybody has made it out safely.
Janette Marson:Oh, I so badly want to do the corn maze, so you're doing it this year, right.
Joyce Nethery:We do plan on doing it this year. Yes, Okay, good.
Janette Marson:I will be there. I will be there with somebody with me my husband probably just to make sure I get out safely. A little tracker, or something just in case. Oh my goodness, I'm excited about that. So, tours and tastings we are all about bringing people in and they love the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and talk about what people can experience tours and tastings-wise when they come to Jeptha Creed.
Joyce Nethery:Well, at Jeptha Creed we've got several different experiences for them. So you come in if you don't have a reservation or anything. We have a tasting experience that is free, that they can experience some of our bourbons. And we have a cocktail bar where you can come and just get a cocktail and hang out in our backyard. You can hang out in our gift shop. We have some tables and chairs, just hang out and enjoy that cocktail bar atmosphere. In addition to that, we have tours of the distillery so you can schedule to see how we make our bourbon experience and see our corn and see that whole process and there's a tasting associated with the tour of the distillery also Awesome. We also have experiences where you can come and do a cocktail class and learn to make a cocktail with our bourbons and that's a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of shaking of the.
Joyce Nethery:Oh, that'd be wonderful Of all those pieces.
Janette Marson:It's a lot of fun that way.
Joyce Nethery:I can never get my piece unstuck, though, yeah there's a special technique about hitting it on the side.
Janette Marson:Yeah, that needs to be. Shakes it gets it loose.
Joyce Nethery:And we have a barrel tasting experience that you can schedule and we will take you to the barrel barn where you can thief from the barrel and experience our bourbon at Cask Street, straight from the barrel, surrounded by more bourbon. So it's a fabulous experience and it's just hanging out, hanging out in the yard in our rocking chairs. We've got cornhole and it's just a fabulous place to come hang out anytime.
Janette Marson:Yeah, for those people that have never been to Jeptha Creed, all of those games and outdoor things and activities. I mean you literally could spend an afternoon just relaxing, having a beverage, even non-alcoholic, and just enjoying your time there.
Joyce Nethery:Absolutely. In addition to that, we have our Creed Cafe, so we do have a pizza, pizza that we make from scratch, and so it's not anything you just you know, buy frozen. We make it from scratch, it's wonderful.
Janette Marson:I've had it. It's really really good.
Joyce Nethery:And we also have some other appetizers, some pretzel bites and and macaroni and cheese bites.
Janette Marson:Those are wonderful as well.
Joyce Nethery:Several different appetizers.
Janette Marson:So you can have lunch also. Yes, everything is wonderful, I know.
Mason Warren:I've met people out there before just to get drinks and snacks and things like that. My parents both have, and so it's always a very relaxed and welcoming environment. So that's always nice and I appreciate that you can accommodate visitors who don't make a reservation. There are some other distilleries in the state that just basically say, if you don't have a reservation, don't show up, and that's not really the welcoming aspect that we're going for as a state. And so I have friends at other distilleries and I tell them you all need to do what Jeff the Creed does, where they have that tasting experience, where they don't need reservations, and I'm like well it does If things.
Joyce Nethery:when the tourist season gets into full gear, I would recommend, even for our free tasting experience, to have a reservation because we do during that time can fill up. Yeah, full gear. I would recommend, even for our free tasting experience, to have a reservation, because we do during that time can fill up. But even if it's filled up, you can still get a flight at the cocktail bar and taste. It's just you have to pay for it.
Joyce Nethery:But you can get a flight, you can get a cocktail, you can get lunch. You can have a fabulous experience, even if the tasting experience is awful. Yeah, yeah.
Janette Marson:So there's a lot of wonderful things that you do at Jeff the Creed. What is one thing that you think sets you apart from other distilleries? Our corn, absolutely Well, yeah, definitely.
Joyce Nethery:You know, being woman owned and woman run and all those pieces, that's really cool and awesome and I'm humbled that people find that you know's a unique, beautiful red varietal Bloody Butcher, among other varietals of corn, and that we are very authentic in truly doing this ground to glass and saving the seed and planting them back, and that we are truly working that process all the way through. I think that ground to glass, that we are planting the seed, growing the corn, harvesting it and going all the way through the process that way is what makes us truly unique, Because we just put out a six-year aged weeded bourbon. Well, that took us seven years to make because it takes a year to grow the corn. So we have additional investment in our bourbon compared to all the other distilleries because of our ground-to-glass concept. So that is the piece that makes us truly unique.
Janette Marson:Mason and I go to a lot of travel shows and every time we meet another distillery, especially a craft distillery, they'll mention Jeptha Creed and what a great job you do. There are so many eyes on you, watching what you do and then wanting to do the same or whatever you're doing is working. Yeah, people are noticing.
Mason Warren:So we've talked a lot about what you've done in the past and things like that. But what's next? What's coming up for Jeptha Creed? Any news you can tease, or anything like that. But what's next? What's coming up for Jeff the Creed? Any news you can tease, or anything like that.
Joyce Nethery:Well, we've been laying down a lot of different corn varietals of bourbon as we've been going along, and one of them is a pink varietal. So we have grown a pink Hopi corn and have put some of that, laid some of that down. In addition to that, we have combined our Bloody Butcher Red and our white to make pink, you know, and distilled a pink bourbon that we will be releasing in October in 2026. Okay, All right.
Mason Warren:Probably Hopefully.
Janette Marson:Well, that sounds neat when you were saying pink.
Mason Warren:I was picturing like an October release tying the breast cancer awareness.
Janette Marson:Yes, yes, things like that. Is that the tie-in? That is the tie-in. Yes, that's what. I was wondering as well. That's amazing. That is the tie-in. Yeah, Okay.
Joyce Nethery:So for breast cancer awareness for sure. So that will be coming up in the future. This fall we will our fourth release of our red, white and blue, so that will be just absolutely awesome. And then you know, after that we have other varietals of corn bourbons that we will be doing something with in the future Possibly. We've laid down some of what I call my husband's Bruce's Blue corn bourbon and we've laid that down, and could we have some special releases of Bruce's Blue coming out.
Janette Marson:Oh, that's fantastic, yeah, wonderful. It's good to know. I'm especially interested in the pink and how each of the colors changes the flavor.
Joyce Nethery:Yes, I'm excited to. So the pink bourbon will be a unique its own beautiful bourbon.
Janette Marson:Oh, I'm excited. I'm very excited. How can people learn more or talk about your what's your website and hours of operation? Just go into a little bit more on that.
Joyce Nethery:Well, obviously you can go to our website, which is jeffthecreedcom, and we got links to all kinds of information there. So our online store, all About Us and our hours. So we are open Thursday through Sunday to the public. Thursday through Saturday we're open 11 to 6 pm, and then on Sundays we're open noon to 5. So you can come in and just experience everything we got going on.
Janette Marson:Oh, that's fantastic. Now you mentioned Sundays. Are you still doing the special Sunday? We still have the giant Bloody Mary.
Joyce Nethery:The giant Bloody Mary, yes, and in addition to the giant Bloody Mary, we have an individual Bloody Mary that you can get, with all the different food pieces on it.
Mason Warren:So if you don't quite need a gallon of it.
Joyce Nethery:Yeah, if you don't have six people to come and hang out with you, right?
Janette Marson:Is it a gallon? It looked huge.
Joyce Nethery:I think it's a half gallon and it's designed to serve four, but there's enough there that you could get more than four.
Janette Marson:It looked like chicken strips and all kinds of egg rolls and all the things were coming out of it.
Joyce Nethery:There's a meal. There's a meal hanging on those, for sure.
Janette Marson:And Sundays. What are your hours again for?
Joyce Nethery:the.
Janette Marson:Noon to five. Noon to five. Okay, anything else you want to tell us about? About Jeptha Creed, anything we haven't gone over, or?
Joyce Nethery:Well, we're very proud to be part of Shelby County. We are Shelby County Inns and obviously built our distillery and invested in Shelby County. So we're very, very proud and happy to be here and being right there on the interstate. We kind of see ourselves as being an entryway into Shelby County, so we're very happy to be the opening for everybody.
Janette Marson:Yeah, when we talk to people that have come on the highway, oh, you mean that beautiful red building, so they maybe haven't stopped, but they're thinking about it, and definitely the entryway. I knew what we were talking about when we said it yes, one last question before we wrap up.
Mason Warren:When we kind of look at the stats of people who are listening to this, we've got almost coast to coast a few pockets here and there of states. Where can people find your bourbon? Which states are you distributed?
Joyce Nethery:We are distributed in, obviously, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Florida, Georgia and Colorado. Also, this year we are opening up and starting in Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Mason Warren:Okay, Exciting, and did I say Ohio?
Joyce Nethery:Ohio also.
Mason Warren:You might have, If not Ohio.
Janette Marson:Yes, Ohio also All right. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, each year that you're around, more and more people are hearing about you, no matter what city we're in. We say Jeptha Creed and oh yeah, I've heard about that, so definitely the word. You're not a hidden wonder, You're just a wonderful wonder. Yes, we're just a wonder. Yes, you are just a wonder.
