Meet Our Makers: The Kentucky Artisans Behind Our Gift Boxes

At Kentucky Curated Co., we believe that the heart of every gift is the story behind it. That’s why we partner with local Kentucky artisans whose passion and dedication to their craft shine through in every product. By featuring their unique creations in our gift boxes, we deliver more than just items—we deliver the spirit and heritage of Kentucky. Here’s a look at three of the many artisans we are proud to work with.

1. Double Barrel Honey

Located in the heart of Central Kentucky, Double Barrel Honey is known for its rich, bourbon barrel-aged honey. Aged for 90 days in charred Kentucky bourbon barrels, this 100% American honey develops a sweet, subtle oak flavor that is unlike anything else. Each batch is double-filtered and carefully hand-bottled to deliver pure Kentucky taste.

What sets Double Barrel Honey apart is their dedication to producing small-batch, high-quality honey with a nod to Kentucky’s bourbon legacy. With special edition runs aged even longer than the standard, they honor the tradition of bourbon aging while creating something entirely new. We love them because their honey not only captures the essence of local craftsmanship but also infuses the rich history and flavor of Kentucky bourbon into every drop.

2. Creative Coffees Roastery

Right here in Winchester, KY—our own backyard—is Creative Coffees Roastery, a business that approaches coffee-making with the same level of care and precision as a fine art. Sourcing exclusively 100% Arabica Specialty Grade Coffee from small farms and cooperatives around the world, Creative Coffees ensures that every cup is packed with flavor and quality.

Each roast is meticulously monitored with high-tech software to achieve perfect consistency, and their heat-sealed packaging preserves the freshness of every batch. Their range of unique flavors, including Kentucky Bourbon and Southern Pecan, pays homage to local tastes while delivering a luxurious coffee experience. We love working with Creative Coffees because, like us, they are local to Winchester and committed to providing top-tier, high-quality products that speak to Kentucky’s rich flavors.

3. Clayton and Crume

Based in Louisville, KY, Clayton & Crume is a leather goods maker that embraces Kentucky’s heritage of handcrafted quality. Founded by two Kentucky natives, Clay and Tyler, this brand was built on the belief that the finest things in life are made with care, patience, and integrity. Every leather good is hand-finished, and their products only get better with time, much like the finest Kentucky bourbon.

What makes Clayton & Crume so special is their dedication to personalization. Whether it’s a custom leather wallet or a monogrammed belt, they allow us to offer beautifully crafted, one-of-a-kind gifts to our clients. We love their commitment to quality, their pride in Kentucky roots, and the opportunity they give us to create truly memorable, personalized gifts.
