- A quiet evening on the patio
- A new Father’s Day tradition
The Story Behind Kinnard & Drake Bourbon
What separates Kinnard & Drake from countless bourbons on the shelf is the story behind the bottle.
The bourbon originates from Boone County, Indiana and is connected to the historic Boone County Jail Distillery — a repurposed 19th-century jail that now houses whiskey production and barrel aging. The brand itself is named after Colonel Kinnard and General Drake, two pioneers and founders of Boone County, celebrated for their leadership, exploration, and resilience.
That legacy-driven identity makes it especially fitting for Father’s Day. Much like the fathers we celebrate, the brand honors tradition, strength, and a pioneering spirit. Learn more here: https://www.boonecojaildistillery.com/
