The Old Pogue Distillery is located just west of charming downtown Maysville, where six generations of the Pogue family have proudly produced Bourbon and rye whiskies using time-honored family recipes. The distillery is situated on the southern bluff of the Ohio River Valley alongside the historic 1845 Pogue family home. The Pogue Family Homestead, which serves as the distillery’s offices, displays many original pre-Prohibition artifacts and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
