Continually driving by the highway signs with directions to Boone Distilling became too much. I had to try the place and sample their bourbon. Boone offers two tasting packages. A full hour long tour for $8 and a 15 minute narrative sampler for $5. Since my time was limited, I quickly reserved a 15 minute session online. The online scheduling system was quick and easy. The feel of the small tasting room is extremely cozy and warming (or is that the bourbon talking). The tasting included 4 bourbons plus 1 rum or gin. A shot glass and reusable plastic cup are also included with the tasting. The tour guide leads you through the history of the distillery, lesson on how to taste bourbon, and details of the 5 sampled beverages. Both employees working were quite enjoyable to talk with during my time on site. If time allowed, I would probably have another drink or two to continue our conversations. At the end of the tour, I purchased a bottle of bourbon to take home to enjoy. The Boone Distillery was a fantastic stop near the entrance of northern Kentucky. read more

Great time learning about the different types of bourbon and the history oh BCD. DBCD is my favorite bourbon. My wife really likes the gin. read more

The girl who was doing the tour was not very good. She kept talking in one big breath and seemed like she was about to pass out as fast as she was talking. A little disappointed with that aspect. I would have preferred someone who knew more. Good business tho, with top notch bourbon. read more

We there over the weekend - what a fabulous place. I have NOTHING bad to say about Boone County. The operation is as impressive as the staff. I would say if you want to be treated like someone special this distillery is a MUST visit. Not only is the bourbon top shelf (so says my husband) but their rum and tequila can definitely hang out with Captain and Jose at any party. Please make time to stop and visit Boone County, you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent tour guide and an all around wonderful experience!! And some great bourbon too!

This is a great little gem tucked back in an industrial park. The tour was concise but informative and the tasting covered the majority of their products and additional tastings were for purchase of their top shelf items. The tour guide was informative and accommodating. The tours were also kept small and followed COVID guidelines. They have a cocktail menu which features their products. Cocktails were for purchase before the tour and could be taken on the tour which was a nice touch. Their bourbon cream was delicious and they gave us recipe cards to take with us to try out various cocktails. They are currently building a new tasting/event space as well as an outdoor area- we will be back to visit in the future. read more

I understand good bourbon takes time, but if the samples I got were any hint of what is to come then they won't be long for this world. I love bourbon. I do not love this bourbon. read more

I was very disappointed with this place. We arrived 16 minutes before they were closing and they did not allow us to even do a small tasting. My brother came in from Alabama and wanted to get the stamp for his whiskey passport and the older man at the front desk was very rude and would not allow him to receive a stamp. My brother was even going to buy the $100 cash strength bourbon but was not even allowed to receive the stamp. The bourbon may be good but the service at the distillery was awful. I will definitely not be giving them my money. There are plenty of nicer smaller distilleries that will receive my money now. read more

The staff is very unfriendly ... go somewhere else and find better Bourbon. Most of the juice comes from IN

Amazing trip and tour. I only regret that I can't remember the name of the tour guide that took us around, as she was awesome and extremely funny! read more

We had a group of 20 friends for a tour. The service and hospitality was excellent. The tour lasted about 1 hr but we had to cut it short due to a group dinner reservation we had planned. Pricing for the tour, Bourbons and gifts were very fair. The tour guide was also one of the Partners of the distillery. read more

We happened to see this was on our way home so we just stopped by and the gentleman who greeted us was very informative. The cream bourbon liqueur they offer is delicious and we marveled at the beautiful decor and the window into the distillery process itself. read more

Dannnng I wish I took photos. The entrance was really picturesque. The guide was very informative and took control really well. There were only three of us. The part that really was mind-blowing was the tasting: we got to taste so many that I said no to the rum, just so I could drive to the next appointment. I had bourbon, gin (spring and winter mix), and bourbon cream. There is also a bar where you order a drink prior to the tour! So I had a mule! So just be careful driving here. Also the original price was only dollars, and they let you keep the shot glass as well as the plastic shot glass. I bought a shirt but wanted to buy more things because they had great merch. read more

Interesting tour and great hosted. Very knowledgeable and funny. You can learn all about bourbon making process and even try some.

I have never been on any bourbon (or any brewery) tour before and this was my very first experience. Super close to Cincinnati (near the airport) and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. We walked in without an appointment and a tour had already started. The staff member was super accommodating and made it happen for my party of 5. We had Mitchel (highly recommended) lead the tour and he was amazing. I thought it would be boring, but Mitchel made it so interesting that I actually walked away with some tidbits. Don't let the small size discourage you from visiting - they really make it a good tour. read more

What a fantastic place to visit! We just moved to the area and are only 3 miles away from this gem! The people are so incredibly nice and knowledgeable, the tour is extremely inexpensive and the experience is incredible! They will yeah you about how they make their spirits, the history behind them, give you a tour of the facility as well as a tasting at the end...... which will basically MAKE you buy their delicious Bourbon Cream! It is not a huge place, it is smaller as distilleries go but that is why you should go. It has charm. They are better able to figure on their visitors and you can buy their bourbon at their store which can be harder to find out in the open market. You will certainly not be disappointed! read more

Fantastic and educational tour! An hour of fun learning all about the industry from a guide that really knows his stuff. Lot of heritage in the place and you can tell they are proud of their product. Went home with several bottles. Recommend! read more

Great tour and an amazing tour guide. Had a great time hearing the story and trying all their bourbon.

My wife and I took a tour of Boone County Distilling and had a great time. Our tour guide Michael was excellent. He did a great job explaining the history of the distillery and walking us through the process to make bourbon. The tasting was extremely informative. It was an extremely reasonable price of $5/person. I would highly recommend a visit to Boone County Distilling. The staff was very welcoming. Don't let the location in an industrial park scare you off. It is a great facility. read more

Had a very nice tour. Boone County Distillery makes you feel welcome to stop by. Outstanding Bourbon! read more

Boone County Distilling - Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Independence, Kentucky

Boone County Distilling is one of Florence's best kept secrets. They have the best bar and event center in the area, and I highly recommend Bourbon! I have been to many distilleries in the area, and they are by far the top notch with the best product. Nichole their bar tender took really good care of us while we were out there having a drink at their nice bar. I know that it seems odd to have a place like this in an industrial are, but it is well worth the visit and especially go to the bar and have some drinks. They have beer, rum, tequila, bourbon, and plenty of creative mixed drinks to choose from. We love this place so much, we bought one of their barrels and made our own barrel table from it. So go visit! You will not be disappointed! read more

This was my first Bourbon tour and I was extremely pleased the history behind the product has an amazing story and the staff is extremely friendly. read more

It's really a great tour and worth the trip. You get to really walk through the stills and fermenters and see how everything is done. The guide knew his stuff. They were cooking rye when we were there and it smelled amazing. The tasting after is also very good and they make some very good spirits. read more

Interesting and informative tour on a local distillery. The bourbon was good and the bourbon cream was excellent! A must stop on the Bourbon Trail!! read more

We booked our 2:00pm tour online; they welcome walk in; our tour was full. The tour is very well done, its not a big place like other Kentucky Distilleries, but its nice. Our guide was very knowledgeable. They have worked very hard to bring in the history of the old Petersburg, Boone County distillery that's been gone for almost a hundred years and most locals aren't even aware. The tour is a great price; you can't beat it at $6. A 40 minute tour with tasting included. We tried the moonshine, bourbon cream and the bourbon. The Eighteen 33 bourbon was made elsewhere, but with the same recipe. It is a nice bourbon, good flavor, nice nose. They are now part of the Bourbon Trail craft tour (something like this); not one of the big boys, but on the tour and worth the visit. Whether you are a local; or your in Cincinnati for the week, take the 30 minute drive down to BC Distillery. read more

Great tour experience! The tour host was very knowledgeable & fun, providing a detailed history of the distillery, the Boone County name & the founders. The facilities are small, but very clean. Many of the processes are completed by hand, showing their level of dedication & detail orientation. Their bourbon cream & seasonal gin are particularly good! read more

First, the staff is incredible. We were so impressed with their passion for the business, and their expertise. We loved the tour. The distillery is small, but is huge with character, history and enthusiasm! Finally, the products..... I didn't know I liked rye until yesterday! The tasting session was perfect and I will definitely be coming back with more friends and family. Well done. read more

Friendly, knowledgeable guide. Even though we have been to several tastings, she showed us something new. Everyone there made us fell at home and not rushed in our tasting. Nice small distillery you must try. read more

The tour was very informative and our guide took extra time to explain anything asked. Great small distillery feel.

Great enjoyable tasting on the mini tour. Super friendly staff who handled a belligerent patron who didn't want his ID scanned with patience and kindness. Really enjoyed their bourbon, rye, and bourbon cream (purchased). Hope to visit again for the longer tour. read more

We really enjoyed the tour! Our guide, Anna, was wonderful: funny and very knowledgeable. The tasting was great! Overall, it was a great experience! My only complaint was the distillery doesn't have AC, so it was very warm - dress accordingly! read more

Excellent experience start to finish. This is my 10th bourbon distillery tour and is definitely the best one I've experienced. Staff was very knowledgeable and entertaining and the facility was spotless. read more

Bourbon was fantastic and our tour guide Anna was amazing! Phenomenal visit.

We stopped by the distillery today and took the one hour tour. The tour guide (forgot her name) was local to the area... knowledgeable and did a great job educating the group on the history and distilling process. The bourbon tasting was fun and educational as well. Our favorite was the Bourbon cream. Afterwards we shopped a bit in the gift shop. One constructive comment: $8 per person, although not outrageous seemed a bit steep for this particular craft distillery tour compared to other KY distillery tours we've been on. We felt too much time was spent pointing out pictures on the walls and circling the processing area to fill in for the 1 hour time slot. Maybe adding a souvenir glass to take home or even a shot glass at the end of the tour would make the $8 per person price a bit more palatable. That said, we would certainly recommend. The distillery was very clean. read more

Unexpected treat before the airport Anthony out host taught and amazed us And the taste of all where great read more

We really enjoyed the tour. It was interesting and informative. I would recommend you stop by for a visit.

Enjoyed the tour!! Would definitely recommend. Our tour guide was excellent. Enjoyed the tasting also.

Tommy Thompson gave us a one-on-one history lesson about the distillery, Tanner's curse, as well as guided us through our tasting. Very knowledgeable & great story telling. Bourbon Cream is so delicious!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. We had a large group 20+ and they came in on the day they were closed to give us a tour. Our tour guide was funny, entertaining and kept our attention. The sampling at the end was delicious. I loved the bourbon cream. Water and ice at each setting was a great touch. Although the location is a little unexpected, industrial park, the inside is warm and charming. Thanks so much Sara for arranging our tour. read more
