jvanwinkle Posted December 22, 1999 Share Posted December 22, 1999 The Old Boone Distillery, DSP-KY-39, was torn down about 1979. It was just south of Louisville along the Ohio River. Their bourbon was rye based and not bad. Austin-Nichols Co. used to buy bulk whiskey from them to support their growing Wild Turkey brand. Bill Padgent was the distiller there. After Old Boone, he work as plant manager at Maker's mark until he retired a few years ago.Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
