KENTUCKY
Kentucky is the center of American bourbon production, with more than 95 percent of the world’s bourbon supply produced within its borders, a fact tied directly to the state’s limestone-filtered water and the charred oak barrel aging requirements enshrined in federal law. It is also home to Mammoth Cave National Park, the longest known cave system in the world with more than 400 mapped miles of passages, and the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, which sits within the Bluegrass Region that has been the center of American thoroughbred horse breeding for more than two centuries.
