We are a family owned and operated distillery created from a pole barn (essentially a steel barn with support poles). This handcrafted facility was constructed by the unique skills and devoted hands of owner/founder Brad Armel. Being nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains allows you to enjoy our spirits in an atmosphere with nature.
We pride ourselves on manufacturing quality spirits. We use grains from local farmers, while also using limestone filtered water. This considerably increases the quality of our premium spirits – aged rum, bourbon, and corn whiskey, with moonshine coming soon.
This taste is developed through filtering and blending all-natural, locally sourced flavor profiles of smooth/sweet aromas. We can’t give it all away online, so come visit us to learn more.
It is our pleasure to produce spirits from our distillery for you to enjoy with friends and family at your table or at ours. Brad and Lucia Armel welcome you to BootLeg Distilling.
We’re a family business looking to put a smile on people’s faces by sharing our passion of distilling.
This has been a dream of mine for a very long time and it has taken me years (and I mean YEARS) to perfect my recipes.
I can confidently say that if you enjoy rum, whiskey or moonshine (or alcohol in general) then you will enjoy BootLeg Distilling. Favorite drink: Big Red Lager (one shot of Sweet Cinn in a Bud Light or any light lager).
If you want to talk distilling, I’m your guy!
If you want to talk about absolutely anything else, I’m your gal.
Nothing beats a good buzz. As delicious as my husband’s Sweet Cinn is, sometimes you need to do a little mixing… Some of my favorite mixology recipes are on the Recipe page. I’ve been refining these mixed spirits for a few years now, but if you’ve got any recipes you’ve been toying with I’d love to hear them!
Favorite drink: Ginger Snap (one shot of Sweet Cinn in 4oz of Ginger Ale garnished with a wedge of fresh lime)
