The authenticity that shines throughout the Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati region is what truly sets the area apart from the “Bourbon Disney Worlds” further south.  According to the article, “once Northern Kentucky was barely a blip on the bourbon radar; now it’s home to some of the coolest up and coming distilleries.”

The distilleries the article references to include New Riff Distilling, Boone County Distilling Co., Neeley Family Distillery, Old Pogue Distillery, and Second Sight Spirits, all members of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour.
