KENTUCKY HAS MANY CLAIMS TO FAME: horse farms dotting the landscape, mint juleps and festive hats at the Kentucky Derby, regional fare like the beloved hot brown, and even fried chicken for fast food fans. But just as synonymous with the state is the bourbon industry and the rich history and exciting future it brings to the region. From sprawling world-famous distilleries and smaller craft brands to tasting rooms, tours, and bourbon-based cocktails on almost every menu, America’s native spirit thrives here and makes the area well worth a visit.
