August, Kentucky-based Augusta Distillery’s coveted, cask-strength, single-barrel bourbons are now available for nationwide shipping. Whether you’re a bourbon-collecting connoisseur or someone who just appreciates the finer things in life, it’s never been easier to bring the heart of bourbon country straight to your doorstep.
This expansion means whiskey devotees can experience the smooth, rich flavors of Augusta Distillery’s finest releases. The initial lineup includes its staple bourbon, Old Route 8, and two of its award-winning Buckner’s series.
- Old Route 8 ($114.99): Delivering that classic “Kentucky hug,” Old Route 8 is known for its full-bodied flavor with notes of brown sugar, vanilla and a dash of oak and is aged 8 years to perfection.
- Buckner’s 10 ($149.99): Aged for 10 years, this expression features a warm, honeyed vanilla profile with a combination of antique wood, exotic spice and notes of caramel.
- Buckner’s 15 ($319.00): This mature 15-year-old bourbon with subtle notes of wood, exotic spice, tobacco and leather that will please even the most refined palates.
This addition of nationwide shipping strengthens Augusta Distillery’s mission to deliver a smooth, cask-to-connoisseur experience. Previously only available for purchase at the distillery’s home base in Kentucky and on limited high-end retail shelves, Augusta Distillery products can now be enjoyed in 43 states.*
“Expanding our shipping availability is an exciting step in bringing our exceptional bourbons to a wider audience,” said Ryan Edwards, president of Augusta Distillery. “We’re proud to make our craft more accessible while preserving the integrity and quality of every bottle we produce.”
While the broader bourbon industry faces challenges—including the first sales slowdown in over 20 years—the luxury bourbon industry is expected to grow by 10% in 2025 due to an increasing demand for unique, small-batch offerings. Along with the critical and commercial success of its limited releases, Buckner’s 15 and Buckner’s 17, in 2024, Augusta Distillery’s newly expanded footprint is a prime example of this growth indicator.
Online ordering for home delivery can be found on Augusta Distillery’s website.
