In 2019, Kentucky distillers produced more than 1,7 million barrels of bourbon, nearly a four-fold increase from production levels a decade earlier. So it s no surprise that bourbon has experienced a two-decade boom which has no end in site.
And Kentucky, our neighbor to the north, is at the forefront: the state produces 95% of the world s bourbon supply, according to the Kentucky Distillers Association. Another interesting fact: distilled spirit sales increased 55% after the COVID-19 pandemic began.
In recent years, our area has seen several local distilleries pop up, garnering great support from locals, and drawing visitors from far and wide. We now have Old Glory, MB Roland, Casey Jones and Leatherwood, all close by.
