Had a fantastic time at SKD. Luther-our tour guide, Junior-one of the owners, and the whole group that work there were amazing and really made us feel very welcome. Luther… read more was so patient when it came to answering all of our questions on the tour. When it comes to their moonshine, they are very flavor focused, and all were very good. We had a hard time not buying every flavor. We did, however, leave with the Apple, Strawberry Lemonade, Peach, and Blackberry. We also brought home their peanut butter and cinnamon flavored whiskey. What really amazed us was their vodka. It was so smooth going down, and knowing we could not get their brand in our state, bought two bottles. Crazy, I know, leaving with 8 bottles, but when you find a place that is so passionate about their products and they happen to taste amazing and you know you can’t get a replacement bottles right away, you just have to stock up.
Just bought all your moonshine at bluegrass in russell springs love it thank u
Great place!
Fantastic staff. Good time! Great products.
Best Wednesday ever!!
Awesome place! Friendly staff make you feel like you’re home. Their bourbon and vodka are by far the best.
The distillery tour was a highlight of our visit, with Mike providing a unique and personalized experience, complete with captivating stories told in his distinctive Army style. Luther’s comprehensive knowledge… read more of bourbon added depth and complexity to the tour. While the distillery may be small, it punches above its weight in terms of the quality of experience it offers. We were also delighted to receive a warm welcome from Mr. Cecil, and the staff’s commitment to Southern hospitality was evident throughout
These guys are FANTASTIC. Such a down to earth group of people. The moonshine is awesome. I’m not much of a bourbon drinker, but both my Dad and Fiancé loved… read more their bourbons. In the words of my father “I am shocked that this bottle is only aged 2 years” def check them out, they have something for everyone!

OUR BOURBON IS
WORTH THE WAIT
Broadhead Bourbon is a four-year aged bourbon whiskey proudly distilled in the foothills of Cumberland County Kentucky. Broadhead Bourbon is a pure Kentucky Bourbon. We use locally sourced grain and purified locally harvested water to create our premium product. Our 18 inch column still creates a uniquely pure bourbon that balances old tradition with modern science. Creating a product of the future by using knowledge of the past. We use new charred white oak barrels to age our bourbon to perfection. Here in Kentucky the temperature changes so dramatically throughout the year. This allows the barrels to expand and contract naturally causing the bourbon to permeate into and out of the oak barrels, infusing the bourbon with a harmony of flavors and colors. These conditions have made Kentucky world famous for bourbon. The first release of our wonderful Broadhead Bourbon will be in 2027.
