The Distillery Story

Augusta Distillery, where Kentucky’s rich bourbon tradition meets modern ingenuity. Founded in 2018, Augusta calls the charming river town of Augusta, Kentucky, home. Located along the scenic Ohio River, this distillery is more than just a maker of fine bourbon—it’s a hub of community, history, and craftsmanship. Housed in the historic F.A. Neider building, dating back to 1883, Augusta Distillery seamlessly blends the old with the new. Their approach to bourbon production is rooted in tradition, using two custom-made copper column stills from Vendome Copper & Brass Works, but with a forward-thinking vision. Augusta’s standout bourbon, like the 8-year, cask-strength Old Route 8, is crafted with a meticulous single-barrel process, ensuring each bottle offers a unique experience. Augusta sets itself apart with its dedication to authenticity and quality, reflected in its growing collection of international spirit awards. With ambitious plans for on-site production, maturation, and bottling by 2025, Augusta Distillery is redefining Kentucky bourbon while honoring its roots.
