The Distillery Collection represents Boone County's curated in-house barrel selections, offered directly through the distillery's own channels. BO578 at 120.96 proof (60.48% ABV) is a 12-year MGP-sourced bourbon (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley), bottled at cask strength without chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDistillery Collection releases from Boone County carry a specific kind of collector significance: they're selected and bottled by the distillery itself, without the intermediary of a retail store pick. This means BO578 represents Boone County's own judgment of what a premium single barrel from their program looks like — a direct statement from the distillery rather than a third-party curation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, baking spice, dried cherry — bold at this proof level\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied and concentrated — toffee, brown sugar, charred barrel, rye pepper, rich mouthfeel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, drying, oak-forward with lingering sweetness and barrel warmth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBoone County Distilling Co., Independence, KY\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eDistillery Collection\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eBarrel\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eBO578\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAge\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e12 Years\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eProof\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e120.96 (60.48% ABV)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNon-chill filtered, cask strength\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Boone County Distillery Collection?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Distillery Collection is Boone County's own in-house single barrel program — barrels selected and bottled by the distillery itself, distributed through distillery channels rather than retail store pick programs.
