National travel outlet The Points Guy, in partnership with Capital One Business, has named Boone County Distilling among the top 10 small businesses in the United States worth building your next trip around.
The list identifies 10 small businesses across the country that embody their communities’ identities and are interesting enough that a traveler would build part of an itinerary around visiting them.
Situated off I-75 near Independence, this distillery is a recognized stop on the prestigious Kentucky Bourbon Trail and Northern Kentucky’s The B-Line.
“Boone County Distilling has long been committed to producing exceptional bourbon, and being recognized nationally alongside some of the country’s finest small businesses is a true honor,” Boone County Distilling co-owner Jack Wells said in a news release. “With a distilling tradition dating back to the 1830s, we’re proud to share an authentic Kentucky bourbon experience with visitors from near and far.”
In additionally, visitors can temporarily purchase a special America 250 celebratory edition of the Founder’s Reserve and Single Barrel Founder’s Reserve. This limited-edition bottle honors American independence and offers summer visitors a collectible piece of Kentucky history to remember their visit.
