Summer road trips and staycations are reaching their peak, and national travel outlet The Points Guy, in partnership with Capital One Business, named Boone County Distilling Co. one of the top 10 small businesses in the United States “worth building your next trip around.”
The recognition positions the Northern Kentucky craft distillery as a premier destination for local whiskey enthusiasts, weekend road-trippers, and bourbon aficionados from across the country.
“Boone County Distilling has long been committed to producing exceptional bourbon, and being recognized nationally alongside some of the country’s finest small businesses is a true honor,” said Jack Wells, co-owner of Boone County Distilling. “With a distilling tradition dating back to the 1830s, we’re proud to share an authentic Kentucky bourbon experience with visitors from near and far.”
For a limited time, visitors can pick up a special America 250 celebratory release of the Founder’s Reserve and Single Barrel Founder’s Reserve. This limited-edition bottle commemorates the history and spirit of American independence, giving summer visitors a unique, collectible piece of Kentucky history to take home.
The Points Guy also highlighted Boone County Distilling for its commitment to handcrafting bourbon “Made by Ghosts,” which is a nod the distillery’s 1833 Petersburg, Kentucky, roots. As an official stop on the prestigious Kentucky Bourbon Trail® and Northern Kentucky’s The B-Line®, the distillery honors that history by handcrafting its bourbon, aging it for more than five years and sourcing ingredients from Kentucky and Indiana.
Located just off I-75 near Independence, Boone County Distilling offers an easy, scenic summer drive for regional travelers and is only 15 miles south of Cincinnati for locals. With its proximity to CVG Airport, it is often the first or last stop for air travelers interested in the Bourbon Trail.
Boone County Distilling offers distillery tours, tasting experiences, and shopping in its gift shop featuring a lineup of award-winning spirits, including their signature small-batch bourbons, single-barrel selections and the crowd favorite bourbon cream.
The distillery is also known for rye whiskey, a recipe from Larry Ebersold, member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame.
