95% of the world’s Bourbon is produced in Kentucky.
1964
In 1964, a Congressional Resolution declared Bourbon an indigenous product of the United States—meaning that no other country can make a product and call it Bourbon. This is why Bourbon is revered as “America’s Official Native Spirit.”
In order for whiskey to be Bourbon, it must be made with a minimum of 51 percent corn, aged in new, charred oak containers, stored at no more than 125 proof and bottled at no less than 80 proof.
There are now 9.1 million barrels of Bourbon aging in Kentucky, which is 2 barrels for every person living in the state.
