The approach to Old Pogue Distillery which is located on the side of a hill
overlooking the Ohio River
You guessed it, another sort of Pot Still.
Unlike all the other distilleries, the grains are cooked and fermented in this large cooker.
John Pogue (Distiller) checking the quality of the run.
This is just a small barrel store, they send their Bourbon to Willett's Distillery to store in their Rick Houses as they do not have enough space here.
Just look at the Shine/White Dog coming out of the still.
John Pogue one of the family who have been making Bourbon since 1876.
John kindly showed us around his home, which he is restoring, the house was purchased by the family in a derelict state. But how wonderful to continue the Pogue line.
The Old Family home, the distillery is in the grounds.
Just a nice place on the veranda to watch the river go by.
View from the veranda
The Original Distillery was located on the river,
but unfortunately it fell in to disrepair and was demolished.
