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.

Cocktail Recipies

At Southern Kentucky Distillery, our spirits are the heart of exceptional cocktails. Our Broadhead Bourbon, Slate Fork Moonshine, and Ancient Sun Vodka are crafted to enhance any drink experience.

Our Distillery Heritage

Founded by three natives of the area, and born from an idea at a kitchen table, Southern Kentucky Distillery became a dream come true. Through lots of late nights and early mornings, God’s will and hard work has formed SKD into what it is today.
