Kentucky Bourbon Trail attracts millions of enthusiasts

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail attracts approximately 2.5 million enthusiasts annually to the American state. The region is a major destination for those interested in the history and production of bourbon whiskey.

Bourbon is a distilled spirit that must meet specific legal requirements in the United States, including being produced entirely within the country and composed of at least 51% corn. The tradition of bourbon production grew from colonists moving to Kentucky to cultivate corn more easily than traditional rye.
