bourbon distilleries
Kentucky spirit producers
Bourbon distilleries are facilities that produce bourbon whiskey, the corn-based American spirit aged in charred oak barrels.
Most are concentrated in Kentucky, where limestone-filtered water and tradition have established the region's dominance: We toured three bourbon distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
The term often evokes craft heritage and tourism as much as industrial production.
