Lythgoe Bourbon.
Unapologetic Legacy.
Unforgettable Spirit.
Welcome to Lythgoe® Bourbon. Inspired by Gertrude Cleo
Lythgoe, Prohibition’s Queen of the
Bootleggers.
During Prohibition, Cleo Lythgoe—nicknamed “Cleo” for her beauty, said to rival Queen Cleopatra—built a liquor empire in the Bahamas. She imported the finest whiskeys from Europe and bootlegged barrels into the U.S. This feat earned her the title of “queen of the bootleggers” for her exceptional quality. With bold determination, Cleo shattered stereotypes and set a new standard for excellence in whiskey.
At Lythgoe Bourbon, we honor her legacy by crafting meticulously blended Bourbon Whiskey that embodies both authenticity and boldness. We proudly break boundaries to redefine what it means to enjoy truly great bourbon.
Celebrate the Rich History of Women in Whiskey
From Cleo’s legendary adventures to today’s pioneering female innovators, Lythgoe Bourbon is a testament to resilience, courage, and exceptional craftsmanship. Our award-winning expressions offer rich flavors inspired by both Cleo’s uncompromising standards and the groundbreaking women shaping whiskey today.
About Lythgoe Bourbon
Women are passionate about many things but are not often described as passionate Bourbon drinkers. That seems odd since 36% of every $1 spent on Bourbon Whiskey in the U.S. is spent by a woman. This kind of buying power sounds like passion to us!
During a Bourbon tasting one night, a group of women (and some of our favorite men) asked why there weren’t more Bourbons named for women. So, we decided to take up the challenge and start a Bourbon brand owned, operated, sourced and blended by women. We wanted a flavor profile that fit what we liked because we knew other bourbon enthusiasts would like it too.
Today, we’re committed to premium craftsmanship and rich flavor profiles. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or new to Bourbon, Lythgoe Bourbon invites you to savor history, passion, and excellence in every sip.
