By entering, I agree to join the Never Say Die mailing list. Strictly 21+ to enter. Closes 31st December 2026.

The Journey Continues…

Kentucky born. English raised. And now coming home — to downtown Lexington.

It started here. In 1951, a foal named Never Say Die was born just outside Lexington, beat the odds, and went on to win the Epsom Derby at 33-1 — sparking a story that crossed oceans and changed rock ‘n’ roll forever.

Seventy-odd years later, we’re delighted to be opening the doors to our first brand home in downtown Lexington — close to where it all began.

Expect an English-inspired pub, an immersive tasting experience, a micro-distillery, live music and exclusive Double Ocean Aged bottlings you won’t find anywhere else.

Win One of Five $100 Bar Tabs

We’re not ones to play it safe — so we’re betting on you. Five lucky winners will each land a $100 bar tab to spend at the new brand home, with friends, family, or whoever you’d want to split a Mint Julep with.

To enter, just sign up to our mailing list. No jewelry to pawn. No 33-1 odds. Just a sip of luck.

In the meantime…

Thirsty already? Our Small Batch Bourbon and Rye Whiskey are waiting at Seelbach’s or The Whisky Exchange.

Here’s to never saying die.
