Boone County

A tasty Rye that honors the past.

It was the year 1833 in Kentucky’s Boone County when a man under the name William Snyder decided to buy a flour mill. One thing led to another and before you know it, he found himself operating a distillery along with the mill. Then a couple of other things led to new things and his Whiskey empire soon became the largest in the whole nation. Fast forward almost two centuries later, Boone County Distilling Company now crafts premium Bourbon with the same entrepreneurial spirit in the northern foothills of Kentucky. They continue to share the stories of those who came before like Snyder, Col William Appleton, J.C., Jenkins and James Gaff. Julius Freiberg and Levi Works.

Boone County Small Batch Rye Whiskey tells the story of William Snyder who arrived in Petersburg, Kentucky, with a will of iron in his hands. Oh, and a vision for prosperity in America’s West. In 1833, with his brother John, they acquired the town’s steam mill and transformed it into a Bourbon distillery. This offering pays homage to the Snyder boys. Crafted from a mash bill of 95% rye and 5% Malted Barley, expect flavors of bold oak, robust rye, vanilla, brown sugar, and graham cracker sweetness. Sip it neat, on the rocks, or in a craft cocktail.
