Augusta Distillery

Located in Augusta, Kentucky, two hours east of Louisville on the southern bank of the Ohio River, Augusta Distillery pledges itself to bourbon’s historical benchmarks by bottling single barrel, cask strength Kentucky whiskey at a minimum of eight years old. Begun as a concept in 2017 by three college friends, the launch of Buckner’s 13 Year in 2020 earned the venture swift acclaim and a cult following.

While current bottlings reflect Augusta’s talent for sourcing quality whiskey and its steadfast commitment to core production parameters, a state-of-the-art distillery and event center has come online in 2024—run by Augusta’s Master Distiller, Alexandra Castle, a celebrated member of the American whiskey community and former distiller at Old Dominick Distillery in Memphis and Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg—promising an exciting continuation of Augusta’s nascent bourbon legacy.
