Bourbon
Kentucky is the birthplace of bourbon, producing 95 percent of the world’s supply. Bourbon is America’s only native spirit, as declared by Congress in 1964. It must be made in the United States, with a minimum of 51 percent corn, aged in charred new oak barrels and stored at no more than 125 proof, in order to be called bourbon.
Bourbon production increased more than 150 percent from 1999 to 2013, going from 485,020 barrels to 1,210,207, with premium small-batch and single-barrel brands rising at the highest rate.
U.S. distilled spirits exports topped $1.5 billion in 2013. Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey made up more than $1 billion of that amount, making it the largest export category among all U.S. distilled spirits.
