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, “Made by Ghosts,” harkens to the early pioneers who crafted spirits in Boone County more than 100 years ago.
The “8” in their logo reflects the original “Registered Distillery #8” designation for the Petersburg distillery, which was the largest distillery in the state of Kentucky in 1880.
