Jill Bakehorn

Owner

Jill is a leader in her industry and is a Visionary for creating successful businesses.

After graduating from Clemson in ‘91, Jill returned to her native State of Ky to build a successful catering and events business: Bluegrass Catering, Inc and 903 Venues. 
It was only natural, being a history buff, that Bakehorn began researching the history of Old Tarr Bourbon, distilled in 1865, on the same property where 903 Venues stand.

Resurrecting the Old Wm. Tarr bourbon label in 2020 to market is a true honor for Jill, “we are holding the baton of bourbon history, preserving Kentucky’s legends for all to Inherit.”
