Really enjoyed the tour with Cody. Very informative. The product we wanted to purchase was not available but they were able to get it bottled overnight and we got it the next morning. Linda was so friendly and enjoyed talking with her. read more

Great place to visit. They have an actual section of the Lincoln's Boundary Oak Tree! read more

Boundary Oak Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Radcliff, Kentucky

This is our first HH site We enjoyed the tasting & video. I'm not a bourbon drinker, really learned a lot about different whiskey & in particular Bourbon during our very informative tasting. The video was an excellent history of spirits in America. Tour not available because of Covid. The back lot has room for 6 large rigs. We are excited about exploring more Bourbon distilleries & wineries during our Kentucky tour. So happy we joined HH & finding good camping options. The staff were very friendly & helpful. We have a travel trailer. read more

An unassuming building. Park in front. Informative history movie. Samples at the bar in the center. Linda was fabulous!! She instantly made us feel welcomed. read more

This tiny small batch distillery is a must-stop on your Kentucky bourbon tour. The newish family run enterprise is a great counterpoint to the big establishment distilleries and their products are top notch. The family takes great care and love with their offerings and tastings are informative and friendly. Nice gift shop, too, with rarer offerings. They make not just bourbon, but American whiskeys, a nice cane based moonshine that tastes nothing like corn shine, and a cinnamon cane-based liquor that puts Fireball to shame. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious bourbon, great flavors and variety. Tasting was awesome and very informative. Highly recommend checking them out, even if you think you don't like bourbon, they'll likely change your mind. The Patton was my favorite but the cinnful 69 changed my mind about cinnamon bourbon (1000% better than fireball). read more

If you like bourbon and whisky...or moonshine, you definitely need to visit! The distillery is small, but the liquor packs a big punch. They have a little theatre room where you can watch a 15 minute video on the history of bourbon. There's also the "gift shop" where you can purchase liquor and other items, like jewelry, glasses, and t-shirts. Lastly, there's a tiny museum where you can view items like furniture made from old bourbon barrels (my kids enjoyed playing with the checkers) and a chunk of Lincoln's Boundary Oak Tree. Side note: if you're flying back and want to take liquor with you, you can purchase bubble wrapped envelopes at the Liquor Barn in Elizabethtown for under $2 each. They're big enough for two bottles, but I suggest you only put one in. We didn't have any issues flying back with them. read more

See all

Boundary Oak Distillery moved into a space once known as a science museum. I suppose the kids didn't care so much for the science, but the adults liked to drink. In all seriousness, the state's local small craft movement has experienced both a new found interest in our state's classic drink for a very good reason. People really care about making good bourbon and the founders of Boundary Oak are putting their proverbial... mash in the barrel? Let's go with that. Boundary Oak is located at the intersection of Joe Prather Highway - the major thoroughfare connecting I-65 to Brandenburg - and 31-W - the north-south connector between Louisville and Elizabethtown. It's actually charming that the city renamed the back entrance way Bourbon Trail. There is ample street parking around the distillery and, as of now, the tasting feature can accommodate five to seven persons at a time. When you walk in, it's really dark inside and the clerk makes no bones about it - yup, this was a science center. Tasting is done at a pseudo-bar station; behind it, a worker idly checked or read something off of a tablet. Quiet day, I suppose. Boundary Oak's claim to fame is two-fold. The master distillers sold their first bottle of the to-be produced small batch for tens of thousands of dollars to an anonymous patron in the country. Second, and more important, Boundary Oak is experimenting with the inclusion of sugar cane into their mash, promoting it as a great taste additive and burn reducer. The tasting featured two moonshine proofs (101 and 120), three bourbons, and a cordial. The three bourbons included an "amber," the signature Patton, and a wheat variety. Servings were kept (understandably) small; the sample cups resembled plastic thimbles or lotion caps. [cues "The More You Know"] I mistakenly thought Bourbon was a strictly Kentucky designation. It's not. Any distiller who makes a spirit with at least 51% corn aged in a new oak barrel for at least one year can call their stuff "bourbon." It's the limestone water and the humidity of our region that gives our stuff the unique taste. [/cues] The 101-proof moonshine had a hint of butterscotch and was surprisingly smooth, whereas the 120 had that familiar fire feel. Of the offerings, I enjoyed the bourbons the best. The clerk explained that the amber variety wasn't specifically a bourbon or a whiskey due to its blend; I don't remember which. It was surprisingly light and, agreed, minimal throat burn. The Patton was the ultimate surprise. I'm an admitted novice to bourbon still, but this was probably the first bourbon I have ever had that I could drink neat. It's sweet and certainly not cloying; not that any of them were, but this one was the least so. The clerk explained that the Patton family wanted to endorse a bourbon reminiscent of a scotch-bourbon mixed drink that the General enjoyed. For that to work, it needed to mix well. Finally, the wheat bourbon had a full-bodied mouth taste. It's kind of like biting into a flower. Damn, I am *killing* it with these metaphors today. Anyway, the wheat bourbon really has a lot of flavor of the front end and it felt like the entirety of my mouth got in on the taste. I skipped the last sample - a cinnamon whiskey called Sinnful - because I'm existentially angry at Fireball becoming a "thing" in the whiskey market and I didn't feel like sipping a Hot Tamale. I found the clerk to be well-informed, charming, and delightful. She was knowledgeable about the brand and its production and made the distillery's history accessible to the average listener. My bourbon-appreciating friends have chided the presence of "bourbon bros" at a number of facilities closer to where I live: loud, tank tops, insistent on minutiae, braggadocious about the shots of Pappy Van Winkle they could afford. In contrast, I tasted with a group of middle-aged and older folks from out of town and the clerk kept things light and interesting. Great time. The tasting ended with a suggestion to visit the gift shop. Patrons can buy bottles of what they sampled as well as t-shirts, flasks, and bourbon-themed jewelry. I took a bottle of Patton home for just shy of $50, a typical price point for the small craft distillers. The only regrettable part of my trip was that the tour was not yet online. I would go back for that. I would also gladly bring friends there. It's a welcome tourist attraction in a small town that needs something fun to do. Cheers, friends. read more

I had stopped by jim beam, which is Not really open til 530, last tour is around 330. And stopped at boundary oak on my way back to the hotel, and was pleasantly surprised. no. It is not bourbon, but it's a great drinking liquor. The amber was the best "bourbon" I can think of. The moonshine is dangerously easy to drink. And the cinnamon was literally like drinking candy. Spice your cider with this stuff or drink it straight. The master distiller was pleasant and nice, and the staff was great. If you are at Fort Knox or nearby, Go Here. read more

What a great bourbon tasting experience! Amazing bourbons and my personal favorite - lavender whiskey!

Had a good time. Met the owner and had a quick tour of the place including an interesting movie about the history of bourbon. Afterwords sampled about 8 of their offerings before we proceeded on to tasting them in mixed drinks. Worth a stop! read more

Went to the location from New York. Arrived at 5:30 pm and it was supposed to close at 6 pm. Doors were locked and person inside was drumming. When he saw us he quickly got up and closed the blinds and continued to drum. Did not give the courtesy of telling us whether they were closed, just left us to wait and leave. Called multiple times no answer. Guess he dont want to work, he just want to bang on the drum all day. read more

Brett is an amazing distiller. The new St. Luke's lavender is perfect for those who don't really care for bourbon, but would like a nice cocktail. My Old Kentucky Home is almost sold out, so get yours while you can. PS- Don't skip the movie for just the tasting; it's a "damn good movie!" read more

Stopped in to learn about their distilling and line of line of Kentucky Bourbon. The short film about how bourbon came to be and the product of Kentucky was informative. The tasting was exceptional and we'll received. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. A fun stop to add to your day list in Redcliff. read more

Linda and Cody are awesome! History buffs will love this distillery and the products are unique and well done. For a young man, Cody knows his spirits! Linda was welcoming and charming. read more

I had an amazing experience here. They are really doing some great stuff and that is just the beginning of what they have planned for the future. Bourbon fans, don't dismiss this place just because they don't do a 20 year old barrel proof. Every product that they have is done very well. I am thrilled to support this distillery and am really excited about some of their upcoming special releases. They put a lot of time and planning into this distillery and their projects and it really shows. Brent, the master distiller is a true whiskey fan and he knows his stuff. On top of that he really took some time to share his passion for his products. Whether you are a whiskey fan, history or war buff you need to stop in here and sample some products and learn the story behind them. Very impressive! read more

I traveled to Kentucky in July to see my son graduate from Fort Knox. I wanted to try a local home grown distillery, not the usual big name distilleries you see while traveling through Louisville KY. I stumbled upon Boundary Oak which happens to be the closest distillery to Fort Knox. When I walked in to the distillery I was met by the owner Brent Goodin who you would have thought was a long time friend of mine. You will not find a more down to earth person then Brent. He spent 20 minutes telling me about all his whiskey, bourbon and moonshine then invited me into the back distillery room and showed me how he makes his products. I ended up purchasing a bottle of his Lincoln and Patton Armored Diesel. (I am still kicking myself for not purchasing the moonshine). I have tried MANY of the expensive big name bourbons and Whiskeys out there and I can tell you that the Lincoln and Armored Diesel bottles that I purchased from Boundary Oak are just as good if not better! If you are in the Fort Knox area and love bourbon and whiskey and great people, this is your place! read more

We just visited this distillery and had a great experience! This is a small family run facility. The owner himself gave us a free tour of the facility that ended with some tastings of the bourbon and moonshine they had available. The Patton was our favorite and they also had a cinnamon whiskey that was very good. They have moonshine available also. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it! read more
