Utah distiller recognized as Kentucky Colonel
Alpine Distilling founder and distiller Rob Sergent, now Col. Robert S. Sergent Jr., joined the ranks of fellow distillers Col. James B Beam, Col. E.H. Taylor, Col. Harrison Blanton and Col. Hancock Lee by decree of Governor Andy Beshear on January 3, 2022.
The commission of Kentucky Colonel is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Governor of Kentucky. It is recognition of an individual’s noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to our community, state, and nation.
“Being recognized as a Kentucky Colonel is a great honor which I take very seriously and validates the hand-crafted, small-batch distilling we are doing in Utah. Scott County is often credited as the home of Bourbon. It was also home to our family farm and my earliest memories. Alpine is very much the distilling bridge between tradition and innovation and joining the Kentucky Colonel ranks presents a new opportunity to share Kentucky history, tradition and the role that whiskey plays in society.”
