Doesn’t bourbon have to come from Kentucky? Like champagne has to come from France?
IIRC bourbon has a French history. That’ll bum out the haters.
If it's made in a state other than Kentucky, it can't be called "Kentucky Bourbon"... Legal requirements we've had for awhile. They excluded the French version from being called bourbon... Bourbon Requirements On 4 May 1964, the United States Congress recognized Bourbon Whiskey as a “distinctive product of the United States.” The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 CFR 5) state that bourbon must meet these requirements:
* Bourbon must be made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
* Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume).
* Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.
* Bourbon may not be introduced to the barrel at higher than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume).
* Bourbon which meets the above requirements and has been aged for a minimum of two years, may (but is not required to) be called Straight Bourbon.
* Bourbon aged for a period less than four years must be labeled with the duration of its aging.
* If an age is stated on the label, it must be the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle.
* Only whiskey produced in the United States can be called bourbon.

My wife and I stopped by there last summer on our way back from Stone Mountain. Neat place, but I didn't think it was worth the price of admission to take a tour, and I don't drink, so didn't care to taste it. They also had a no firearms allowed policy, so I did a quick look around, and left.

I don't advertise the fact that I carry, and I carry in a lot of places that I'm not supposed to......but they are places where I have a need to be, hospital, school, some stores. If a business is adamant about no firearms allowed, then I don't go there. Same way with states that don't honor my CC permit, I don't travel there.

My wife is a nurse in a lock down unit "Behavioral Health" not even LEO are allowed inside with a firearm. I would hope if you ever viseted a place like that you would leave it outside.

I enjoyed the pictures and education. As a Scotch drinker (and almost none now), I thank JD and other distillers for selling off barrels to the Scots.

I see none of the resident whiskey snobs have participated in this thread. Obviously they belong to a union.

I grew up close to Lynchburg. In the 1950s the emptied barrels were not designer furniture and otherwise highly desired items. When a run of barrels was bottled the freshly-emptied barrels were either sold cheap or given away if you knew someone who worked there and didn't get greedy. My dad got one for a dog house. All he did was saw out a door for a medium-sized dog in one end of it, lay it on its side, and block it to keep it from rolling. The smell was strong in the beginning but Spot didn't seem to mind. Even after a dog had lived in it for a couple of years, you could faintly smell the whiskey on a hot day.
They also used to sell the used mash to cattle farmers. The farmers would have a metal trough close to the road so they could get their tank truck close enough to dump the mash in it. it is a good memory to be riding a back road, smell mash, and see a bunch of cows lapping it up. Bet that was some good beef.

My wife visited the Makers Mark distillery--
Very interesting tour--
When in the tasting room, i found a brand that I liked. Was gonna buy some for my son and I.
t the gift shop. I was very disapointed when the one I liked was not available for sale.
I asked why it was not and was told-- it was all in shipping.
BTW, there was a lot of the two brands they wanted to sell!
Bullspit!
Left empty handed and went elsewhere
Will never buy from them-- told them so too.
There were a lot of folks disapointed in that sales shop.

In the early 70's you could buy a just opened/drained barrel for $7. Put 4 gallons of distilled water in the barrel, leave it in a hot garage and shake it every few days. In a few weeks you had 4 gallons of 60 or so proof whiskey. Great if you like it over ice. Only got to do it twice, before moving out of town. Those were the good old days.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
