The Proof is Here. In Kentucky, bourbon is not just our thing. It’s everything. After all, we have been making it for longer than we’ve been a state. Our Roots Run Deep There’s a reason 95% of the world’s Bourbon is made in Kentucky. And it’s not just because we’ve been perfecting our craft since the very beginning.
Bourbon and grains go hand-in-hand. So having some of the most fertile soil around makes Kentucky the perfect place to grow corn–something you can’t make Bourbon without.
Because Kentucky sits on top of a massive limestone shelf, the water flowing through our Commonwealth is naturally filtered and packed with the minerals yeast need to thrive. Many believe our pure limestone water is the secret to making the world’s best Bourbon.
