ELIZABETHTOWN, KY -- Whiskey House of Kentucky announced it achieved certification through NSF of ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems) — three internationally recognized standards that validate excellence in quality, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety.

The certifications were earned less than 18 months after completion of construction on the company's state-of-the-art distillery.

The speed and timing of these ISO certifications demonstrate how Whiskey House is transforming contract production as the industry's first fully integrated, end-to-end distillation facility, built from the ground up for custom whiskey production and engineered to set new standards for transparency, efficiency, sustainability and safety.

"These certifications underscore the strength of our operational foundation and long-term vision," said Justin Dixon, Food Safety Quality Assurance senior manager. "We are building world-class systems from the ground up that reflect our strategic focus on operational discipline, sustainability and employee well-being."

ISO 9001 is the world's most recognized standard for quality management. It supports organizations in delivering consistent products and services by strengthening process control, customer focus, performance measurement, and continual improvement.

ISO 14001 provides a framework to identify, manage, and reduce environmental impacts. It supports proactive compliance, environmental objectives, and measurable performance improvement across the organization.

ISO 45001 establishes requirements for an occupational health and safety management system designed to reduce workplace risk, prevent injury and ill health, and strengthen a culture of safety through structured planning, engagement and continual improvement.

Whiskey House of Kentucky is the industry's first purpose-built contract distillation facility, designed to set new benchmarks for transparency, efficiency, safety, and environmental stewardship in American whiskey production. The facility incorporates advanced technology and rigorous controls across quality assurance, environmental management, and occupational health and safety.

"Achieving these certifications from NSF so soon after finishing construction of the facility reflects the culture we are building," said Joshua Marquis, Environmental Health and Safety manager. "Our focus on safety, environmental responsibility, and continuous improvement is embedded into how we operate every day."
