Boot Hill Distillery’s story begins with combining five generations of sustainable farming and quality, transparent distilling to create whiskies and other spirits that are uniquely our own. Founded by Hayes and Roger Kelman in 2014, as an extension of their own multi-generational farms, they saw opening a distillery as a way to add value to the corn, wheat, rye, and barley their family has grown for generations. Western Kansas’s first craft distillery came to fruition in Dodge City, KS when a historic 1929 city building needed rescue from the wrecking ball. Atop the infamous outlaw cemetery bearing our namesake, our distillery, housed in the town’s historic municipal building, sees a different kind of spirit inhabiting Boot Hill today.
