The State of Bourbon

September is Bourbon Heritage Month, and while Bourbon can be
made anywhere in the U.S., Kentucky is known as "the state of
Bourbon." Bourbon makers generate millions of dollars annually
for the state's economy, and their taxes help pay for local
services and public education. The unprecedented growth of the
industry hasn't come without its growing pains, though...and
we'll look at some of the issues facing the "state of Bourbon"
with Janet Patton of the Lexington Herald-Leader. In the news,
Maker's Mark has lost two of its top leaders as Denny Potter and
Jane Bowie leave for a new venture, while Blue Run Spirits is
planning a new $51 million distillery. We'll have all of the
week's whisky news, tasting notes, and look at what may be the
world's toughest whiskey trail to visit.
