ADI'S FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT INDUCTED IN ORDER OF THE WRIT

FRANKFURT, KY, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On October 19, 2024, American Distilling Institute Founder Bill Owens and President Erik Owens were inducted into the prestigious Order of the Writ^® in Frankfort, Kentucky. Organized by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association, the Order of the Writ^® is a fraternal and charitable organization that embraces the spirit of Kentucky Bourbon education, responsibility, environmental stewardship, history, scholarship and an unwavering commitment to the furtherance of America's only native spirit.

“We are so honored by this recognition,” says Bill. “It is, of course, gratifying for the American Distilling Institute to be recognized for its industry leadership over the past 21 years. But more importantly, we see this as recognition of the incredible influence of craft bourbon on the industry as a whole. It is a true privilege to represent those many craft producers who continue to drive innovation across the spirits sector.”

The Induction into the Order of the Writ included the ceremonial planting of corn kernels to represent the acre of corn planted each year by the organization in partnership with the James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits at the University of Kentucky. No more than 1,176 members will ever be inducted into the Order, reflecting the year that the Virginia General Assembly gave settlers permission to migrate into what is now Kentucky.
