Chapter 1
WHY LOUISVILLE?
If you follow the booze industry, or even hang out in semi-fashionable bars and lounges anywhere in the world, you can’t have escaped the realization that bourbon has become one of the hottest categories in the spirits business.
Kentucky is the Bourbon Capital of the World, and within the Bluegrass State, the epicenter of all this activity is Louisville. People come here before they go out into the hinterlands to visit the distilleries. (Actually, the town of Bardstown, about 40 minutes from Louisville, trademarked the term Bourbon Capital of the World,
but that’s hair-splitting.)
The amount of bourbon selling each year goes up greater than any other spirit. Sales will top $5 billion shortly. Production of the liquor has jumped 50% just over the last decade.
If you added up all the barrels currently aging in Louisville distilleries, the number would be greater than the number of people that live in the state, and for that matter, the number of horses, combined!
Now, that’s a lot of bourbon.
A great deal of the increase in bourbon shipments has been to foreign countries, places like Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo, where a taste for bourbon has become all the rage among the moneyed elites in these countries. The greatest growth has come within the super premium categories.
As sales have soared against other segments of the liquor industry (vodka, tequila, gin, Scotch), the so-called Big Six distilleries (including Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, Brown-Forman, Wild Turkey, Four Roses and Diageo) have ramped up production.
