We stopped by for the tour. Our tour guide was funny and informative. The barrel house was interesting and it was nice to be able to look at the dates and information on each barrel. After the tour, they gave a tasting that showed off the basic liquors they offered. You are able to purchase pours of their higher quality stuff and its not too expensive. Only downside is that it is a small facility and when they are busy you do get rushed around a bit. Overall a good experience.

My husband and I attended the distillery tour and had a great time. The tour guide was knowledgeable and hilarious which attributed to the really enjoyable experience. It was interesting to hear about the history and see the overall process and, of course, the tastings were the best part. We would definitely recommend a visit.

Really a great tour. Didnt know what to expect pulling up and never trying their spirits before. But it was fun. Lots of history and information in the tour. Probably one of the most informative. Only thing I think needs improving is the labels on their bottles. Dont know why, something just seems.....off. But cant recommend enough doing a tour and tasting here.

Fun stories and great staff. The ghost theme adds to the experience.This is a very small distillery tucked in an industrial park right off the interstate. Our tour guide who doubles as a labeler did a great job with her bourbon knowledge and the history of the brand.They are just now getting there own aged bourbon distillate into bottle with a five year age statement. Their special releases are noteworthy.

From start to finish what a great experience. Easy to book and pay online so we know we had a spot reserved. Easy check in process upon arrival and the tour started on time. Each bit of info was a lot of fun history to take in since I’m from Northern Kentucky. The tour guide, Jamie was incredible, couldn’t sing her praises high enough! The tastings are really never for me but I gave it a whirl so I’ll still give it a 5 stars even though it was tough to get through. The shop was great and we ended up with some souvenirs. Would definitely recommend!

The newly added event space and tasting room are an awesome addition to the Boone County Distillery that already boated one of the best tours on the Kentucky Craft Bourbon Trail! Ed have a fantastic tour with in depth knowledge of bourbon, unique processes at Boone County with a history lesson included. Definitely recommend a stop in to see the Bourbon Made by Ghosts

Came back to Cincinnati after having gone to graduate school there many years ago. Decided to take my son for a bourbon tour in KY. We really had a great time. The tour was a lot of fun. A lot of facts. Loved the bourbon. Hint of sweetness which was great. Also enjoyed their Winter/Christmas gin. Good enough for sipping. Definitely stop by.

Review β„–25

I cant say I visited for a tour or sample. I was there to do some concrete work. I am, however, a bourbon aficionado. The smell of sour mash filled the air along with occasional hints of charred wood (I can only assume from the barrels. Upon completion I popped in a building filled with barrels and snapped some pics. I didnt taste the product nor did I even see it out of the barrel. Im going to buy some and try it. If its as good as the distillery smelled Im in for a treat.

I was in Cincinnati and the Boone County distillery tour was very accessible- about a half hour drive. Jason was knowledgeable, affable, and entertaining. I would recommend this tour to get a look at a small, up and coming distillery.

A small distillery that packs a big punch. We decided to do the tour with some friends visiting from out of town. I wasn’t sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised at the fun history lesson given by our tour guide, Jason. Who knew a cool gem like this was just 10 minutes away from my backyard in Florence.

Whiskey was good, staff was friendly. Whiskey was at a higher price point than I am accustomed to but they did run at a higher proof than what you will typically find at your local liquor store which offsets the cost. Overall definitely recommend a visit!

What a great place to learn about local bourbon distilling!! Went with some friends the day after Christmas and had a great time.

Decided to try something new on our way into Louisville. Very glad we did. This was such a nice distillery & an enjoyable tour. Tour is $7.55/ person. A really reasonable price considering many distilleries are charging over $20 now... so I appreciated that! Our tour guide, Anthony, was super nice & friendly. We were the only ones on the tour so it was personal and a totally different experience than other tours weve done in the past. Their 12 yr bourbon is exceptional. Very small newer distillery, but definitely worth checking out. Look forward to trying new Bourbons from them in the future.

Great distillery. Best bourbon cream in Kentucky. Love the rum. Very unique with a bit of the barrel taste. A combination of light and dark rum. Worth the stop to get a bottle or two before it is gone for the season.

We had a great time touring the Boone County Distillery. Our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the history of Boone County bourbon and the distilling process.

Long story short, this place is the best! We did the whole bourbon trail and went to a lot of places, this place was definitely the best. Our guide, Anthony, was the most entertaining, funny and wholesome guide we met. The tasting afterwards was a blast with very different products from what you usually get. The human-scale facilities really helps you understand everything thats going on and the tour feels like your part of the production team. Compared to the other big scale companies, this felt like it had soul.

Review β„–70

Amazing place with interesting history. We went there without any prior research, and took a $5 tour. I can honestly say that it was one of the best and most private tours I got in my life. Dennis was amazing. He took his time, and he most definitely knows his stuff. Also, you can buy a section of a used bourbon barrel for $5 (probably subject to availability though.) The 10-year old bourbon that they make is one of the best bourbons that I tasted (and I tasted quite a few:)PS the first tour starts at 1230 hrs, so dont rush there in the morning)

Had a great tour guide and tasting experience here! Cant wait to see the new tasting room once the expansion work is complete. It was really interesting to learn the history behind everything and the significance of the 8. Seeing the rickhouse was pretty cool too. The tasting included a nice variety and you get to keep your glass as an added bonus. The prices in the gift shop are really reasonable. Id definitely come back again.

Review β„–80

We stopped by because it was nicely located on our way from central Kentucky bourbon country back to Ohio. Excellent tour but they have yet to release their own bourbon. They weave an intriguing tale about the ghosts of Boone county distillers. It will be interesting to see what their bourbon actually tastes like when it’s released. They must be confident because they are expanding their facility.

Review β„–81

Omg. Tried this place on a whim and it has now become my favorite spot. The flavors are spot on if maybe a little milder than some bourbon. The spring gin is perfect and I swear the cream makes those Irish creams look bad. Its a small distillery with only 8 employees but Im sure they will continue to grow.

We stopped here on our way back from a trip to southern KY. It’s set back in an industrial park but the atmosphere inside is warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. Staff remained completely pleasant when I observed them confronted by a whiny visitor who didn’t want his ID checked and had a tantrum about it. I’m glad they’re following guidelines to keep us safe and follow the law. We will be back! (And I really enjoyed the rye, bourbon, and bourbon cream.)

Review β„–94

Ive only been to one other distillery (Makers Mark) and really enjoyed the small, new craft angle. Good history and presentation on the tour. The Tomahawk drink was phenomenal. I absolutely love the idea of seasonal gins and would totally buy them if closer (we live in MN). I do wish there was more merchandise and bigger sizes like 2XL as I would have bought one the other day. Any possibility of a monthly club where you pay by the month and a new liquor is sent monthly to try? Maybe in a .5 liter size?
