Louisville makes .... bourbon! ?? Kentucky's native spirit has deep roots in Louisville thanks to the Ohio River, and over the last decade, the rebirth of bourbon's popularity has led to the expansion of historic distilleries such as Brown-Forman, Kentucky Peerless Distilling Company and Stitzel-Weller Distillery, the birth of new brands like Angel's Envy and Brough Brothers Distillery, the creation of the Urban Bourbon Trail, and the opening of a dozen bourbon tour experiences. The bourbon industry pours billions into our state economy, creating over 23,000 jobs and attracting millions of tourists each year. Bourbon is more than a drink - it’s a vital part of Louisville’s heritage and economic backbone. #EconomicDevelopment #ManufacturingMonth #Bourbon #Tourism
