“Kentucky’s signature bourbon industry continues to enjoy a renaissance in sales and tourism. New production is expected to hit 1 million barrels in 2009, more than doubling the amount in the last 10 years. Bourbon-related tourism also is surging along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, which will mark its 10th anniversary in 2009. Several distilleries are expanding their operations and tour experiences with a total capital investment exceeding $100 million. In all, Kentucky’s spirits industry accounts for more than 3,200 direct jobs and $3 billion in gross state product.”
Some of my personal favorites are: Old Rip Van Winkle 15 yr Reserve, Elmer T Lee, Booker’s, Woodford Reserve, Russell’s Reserve, George T Stagg Bourbon, Marker’s Mark.

While i was on vacation last fall I took time to visit the Marker’s Mark. It was very interesting and of course I like bourbon. I was impressed by the history and getting to know what the industry does as a whole. Good stuff.
