The Mayfield distillery was located alongside two others in LaRue County, 2 miles south of New Haven, KY.

The Mayfield was built by J M Atherton in 1879 on a site where John Boone had previously operated two distilleries.

Insurance underwriter records compiled in 1892 suggest that the distillery was brick. The property included several warehouses. All were brick-built and fitted with metal or slate roofs:
Warehouse A -- located 125 ft SE of the still. The north end of this warehouse comprised Free Warehouse No. 3
Warehouse A-B -- Warehouse A and A-B joined and communicated.
Warehouse B -- located 120 ft SE of the still.
Warehouse C -- located 100 ft SE of the still.
There were also cattle pens, located 350 ft NE of the still house.

The insurance records note that the still was being operated by A Mayfield & Co. but doing business as a multitude of other companies.

In 1899, the Mayfield was sold to the Trust. It continued operating until Prohibition, when it was closed. A new plant was built on the site following Repeal.

Internal Revenue recorded warehouse transactions for The Mayfield Distillery doing business with Boldrick Callaghan (on the label) in 1914 and 1920.
