​The Boneyard Well is the first ever liquor store in Beattyville, KY. The town and county has been a "dry" community since prohibition times. But in 2019, the townsfolk voted to allow the sell of alcohol. The Well is an affiliate company with the Boneyard Hollow Offroad Park located in Leeco, KY just 15 minutes north of Beattyville, close to the Red River Gorge Area.

The Well will be set up at the festival offering tastings of bourbons and moonshines that they offer for sale in the store. Check them out on Facebook!

 Hartfield & Company is a small batch distillery located in Paris, KY. We are the first licensed distiller in Bourbon County since prohibition forced the closure of the distilling industry in 1919. Because of this, our philosophy is to preserve the tradition of a pre-prohibition style bourbon. That emulates the profile of how the spirit would have tasted over 100 years ago.

Kentucky Mist Distillery 

Picture
Picture
Kentucky Mist Moonshine is a craft distillery located in the Appalachian Mountains. Born from a deep heritage of distilling spirits in eastern Kentucky, Kentucky Mist takes pride in distilling every drop of alcohol used in our products, and making flavored moonshine using whole fruit for the most genuine taste.

We trace Kentucky Mist's roots back to Little Henry Holbrook and the days of American Prohibition, or the Dark Ages, as they should be rightly called. Distilling corn liquor and bootlegging in the Appalachian Mountains was more than a way of life for Henry and his kinfolk in those days. It was how Henry and his family survived.
