We are Bourbon Centric
Before distilleries began springing up in central Kentucky, bourbon whiskey flowed right here in the original Bourbon County.
Corn-based distillations from hilltop stills found their way down to the banks of Augusta in old oaken barrels, where they were loaded on flat-bottom boats and distributed downstream to the west and south. This journey would not only transport the whiskey, but also transform it into what we know today as bourbon.
The precise mash recipe would be honored, and the Ohio River would become the vehicle to advance the popularity of this uniquely Kentucky spirit. Today, the waterfront remains a defining attribute of our charming river town as the Augusta Distillery proudly occupies one of the historical first stops on the original Bourbon Trail.
We welcome anyone willing to downshift, kickback and linger a little longer.

Bourbon-Centric also refers to our location. Perched on a pristine stretch of the Ohio River, Augusta is within a stone’s throw of five major markets. With easy access from two major highways and a close proximity to the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport, finding your way here is far from difficult.
