Located in the rolling hills of northern Kentucky, Boone County Distilling calls back to the pioneers of the past to make its modern spirits. Opened in 2015, the small Kentucky distillery features a 500-gallon pot still, four fermenters and a small bottling line. The hands-on operation melds tradition and craftsmanship to make its line of whiskeys.
Boone County Distilling Company has deep roots that date back to 1833 when Petersburg, Kentucky, (just outside of Cincinnati) was home to the largest distilled-spirits producer in America. Today, Boone County is home to a new craft spirits distillery that continues to break new ground by bringing distilling back for the first time in a century. In every detail of their operations, Boone County Distilling Company has respected their history while investing in their future. Their tag line, âMade by Ghosts,â harkens to the early pioneers who crafted spirits in Boone County more than 100 years ago.
The â8â in their logo reflects the original âRegistered Distillery #8â designation for the Petersburg distillery, which was the largest distillery in the state of Kentucky in 1880.
