Our Story

Founded in 1937 by Cliff Buzick, Buzick Construction, Inc. first opened its doors in Bardstown, KY as a construction business to meet the needs of distillery equipment salesmen who didn't have anyone to install the equipment they were selling. In 1941, Buzick Construction finished construction on their first barrel storage warehouse for the Fairfield Distillery, and the company became and remains the "go-to" builder for barrel warehouses. The company's reputation for quality work and integrity has been passed down through generations, and the third and fourth generations continue to uphold these values today.

When Cliff's son, Donald, took over the company, he expanded the clientele to commercial businesses in addition to distilleries. The size of projects Buzick Construction built increased and diversified to include manufacturing plants, churches, and banks; all the while their relationship with the bourbon industry remained as strong as ever.

In 1975, Tom Blincoe, Donald's son-in-law, joined the business and oversaw the continuing job of building barrel storage warehouses for Jack Daniel's Distillery, a distillery in Lynchburg that Buzick has had a relationship with since the 1940s. Tom oversaw the construction of 39 warehouses, completed in 1982.

In 1991, when Maker's Mark needed a barrel storage warehouse, Tom wanted to find a better method of construction than building by hand. A system was developed that allowed the "heavy lifting" to be done with machines and equipment, making the construction process more efficient and cost-effective.
