According to a new report by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association (KDA), Kentucky distillers are steadily churning out more bourbon despite suppression by increasingly high production costs.
The data for the report, released Wednesday, was drawn from the inventories recorded as of January 1, 2023 and submitted to the Kentucky Department of Revenue for tax purposes. It reveals that Kentucky hit a new milestone, with 12.6 million barrels of bourbon currently aging in the state — nearly three times its population.
