Bourbon newbie here, this was recommended by the algorithm. I'm not disappointed the slightest. Not only was it a lesson on bourbon, it was an American history lesson and that makes me like it all that much more.

I think one of the best things about bourbon is that the competition is all in it together to just make the best bourbon for all of us who love it.

As an Aussie a nice glass or two of bourbon after a hard day at work is a real treat. Normally Wild Turkey is my poison.

Makes me proud to be a 50+ year bourbon drinker! VERY well done!

I’m Australian and can confirm the only thing any Aussie thinks of and knows about Kentucky, if mentioned. Is "ohh the place in America where bourbon is made".

We never get tired of watching this movie!!

Makes my mouth water, thinking about bourbon whiskey, as I watch this film.

Some day l will make a pilgrimage to Kentucky and see where great bourbon is made. I just don't know when. Till then I will continue to enjoy straight bourbon made in Kentucky.

I'm English. Bourbon is my favourite.

I always have to chuckle whenever I hear about 4 🌹 That was my grandmother's "medicine" for her arthritis. 😂

Kentucky is truly one of the most beautiful and most impactful states there is in America. Not only are we the Bourbon capital of the world but lead the country in Rye whiskey production. We have the most beautiful horse farms and race tracks in world as well as being a major automotive producer with the Ford plant in Louisville, the Toyota plant in Georgetown and the Corvette plant in Bowling Green. Were also one of the biggest suppliers of Beef, Lamb and Tobacco in the country

This is so f ing cool. So many stories and so much passion. Best thing I’ve seen in a long time

true Kentucky spirit...spirit

Most of my family relocated to Kentucky within the past 15 years, and I've grown to love the area in my frequent visits. I've been fortunate to visit several of the distilleries on the "Bourbon Trail", and none of them have disappointed. Hopefully after my son graduates High School...in ten years... we can relocate there as well. Until then we'll endure the crazy high prices of lower New England.

Blessed to live in Kentucky! We’re the horses are da fastest & the Bourbon is the best!…….. sipping on some Woodford double oak😋

Maybe not the smartest idea to watch this (great) documentary during a dry month. Damn do I want sip some bourbon now! Thanks for uploading this, very interesting movie.

This is a great documentary and I appreciate the efforts of whoever put it together and shared it here.

Learned alot!!! My Bourbon journey started 3 years ago I've enjoyed every bit of it.

I do love beer and whiskey. I am a frugal proud blue collar worker. I have been all my working life. I enjoy a bottom shelf whiskey mixed with zero Pepsi its my favorite night cap. In fact I just finished off my night cap. I will enjoy my whiskey or beer till I can't enjoy it anymore.

35:05 "The bottle that cost you $10.00 can sometimes just be as memorable as the one that cost you $1,200.00." So true.

Me and my wife are coming to Kentucky this May to see the Ark then we're hitting the bourbon trail., I can't wait!

Awesome and informative video. Thank you.

As a new bourbon drinker I really appreciate this look behind, and ahead. Really liking Jim Beam Black Label currently.

So amazing to see a well composed documentary like this. They are too few and far between. Bourbon is truly the water of life.

who else is drinking a fine bottle of bourbon and enjoying this film? im sitting here with my bottle of town branch pluking my gibson les paul too just enjoying being an american lad

I never even tasted whiskey until I was 50, and the COVID lockdown made me set up a home office, and I decided to add a little Mad Men, Don Draper bar and learn to like Bourbon and Scotch (mainly bourbon). I think a lot of people took up bourbon as a "hobby" during the pandemic, if sales are any indication.

Solid production, another interesting way to learn about the behind-the-scenes effort that goes into this great American product. 5 Stars!

I've watched this a couple or three times now, and I still enjoy it. Of course, I enjoy bourbon whisky even more. 🥃

This is a great look at Bourbon and its important economic contribution to Kentucky.

thank you for sharing this with the world.... 🥃👌👍🥃 cheers

Great film for the Bourbon enthusiast with many questions. Most of mine have been answered. One thing that struck me is the heavy distilling history of Kentucky but of 120 Kentucky counties, nearly half are either dry or under certain circumstances. Prohibition is alive and well in a state that produces most of the bourbon in America.

I was a beer drinker for 20 yrs. , then my youngest brother got me into whiskey/Bourbon in about 2017 or so. I not yet an expert, but I have tried a lot of different ones.

Bourbon is life!

Bourbon the official Rona killa🔥🔥🔥

Just finished this watch while sipping some Four Roses Yellow . Great watch

I have traveled all over, and I really love learning the history of this about Bourbon Street in New Orleans and Kentucky bourbon history. I still have kin in Tennessee and Kentucky. They were known to make shine back in the day. I love my Maker's Mark. Great history lesson all the way around.

This was a very enjoyable movie. Great history lesson. I'm the son of a man who made moonshine corn whiskey most of his adult life. So my experience with the product is first hand. I enjoyed this very much. I tried to reflect the lifestyle of a moonshine family in my book, "Moonshine" published a few years ago.

Bourbon street is older than actual bourbon?! That’s crazy I didn’t know that. That’s badass

This was a very well done project. Very informative.

Excellent! I love the fact that all the big makers circle the weapons when one of them is falling on hard times.

Jim Beam using plastic bottles lmfao, dead to me son

I'm a Louisville native and grew up around all of these distilleries. This documentary was very well done and it is so cool to have a piece of my hometown represented here. However, I find it hard to swallow that not one person of color was represented here in this rich culture of distilling and bourbon heritage. Not even an honorable mention of Brough Brothers, HH Bespoke Bourbon and other black-owned (or even Asian, Latino or Indian-owned) distillers and craftsmen was given. Was glad to see at least one LGBTQ distiller in the mix. Louisville is rich in diversity, don't sleep on it!

As a loyal sipper of Wild Turkey 101, I truly enjoyed watching this video. A friend told me about your review. 👍👍👍👍👍 MERRY CHRISTMAS

What a Excellent documentary!!!

Awesome video. As a long time bourbon drinker and enjoy-er it has been fun watching people "find" bourbon.

Great movie! Love the history.

35:00 "No bourbon is better than another bourbon"? Not sure how many pours were consumed before that statement.

Bourbon is the evolution of whiskey. I have always said that to my friends that are died in the wool scotch drinkers. It was awesome to hear those words from an industry expert.

Very well done! Thank you for putting in the effort to tell this story.

There nothing more American than Bourbon. That's a Categorical quantifiable fact.🥃

For anyone who loves Whiskey, scotch Whiskey, bourbon, and Rye Whiskey like me, I found Papa's Pilar which is a rum that is aged in Bourbon barrels. It is absolutely delicious, I just had to tell someone.

Great documentary.. 👌🏻💯💯

Great documentary!! I'm new to bourbon and enjoy learning/collecting, and most certainly drinking it/savoring it!

Amazing historical and current presentation!..............Cheers!

I love bourbon for the diverse taste. Also the price of the bottle doesn't seem to be an absolute factor. I prefer some cheaper bourbons over the rare ones.

Image if prohibition happened today. Anarchy over nite. My first hard alcohol drink ever was at age 18 was Jim Beam whiskey. I opened my bottle in front of the liquor store and drank it with coke. Damn it was strong to me at the time.

I had no clue that's where "86'ing" something came from! I thought that was some military code for removing something or killing it off.

Very interesting to watch.

Fantastic film

Love this Documentary love the history and i love the stories its something i like to model my podcast on

Great job! Very informative

this is interesting & well done.

53:19 actually you can go to college and be a distiller. The University of Kentucky has a program where you can get you certificate in distilling. I read a news letter saying most master distillers with college degrees go for bachelors in chemistry and have the certificate in distilling.

Very well done!!

I love single malt aged in virgin oak casks. Tastes like a cross between Scotch and Bourbon. But real Bourbon is great, too.

People are now visiting the "Bourbon Trail" not while passing through, on the way to their vacation but as the focus of it, over 3-4 days.

Great video I drank 1/3 of a fifth old forrester 💯

Great little Doc !

Love me some bourbon

Very interesting stuff.

Super interesting ! Thanks

это прекрасно!

Love it

Alcoholic drinks for alcohol a Tru drinker enjoys the flavor this is why burbon is King

Really enjoyed the history of the bourbon industry. I did notice apparently there are no women in Kentucky and Eddie Russell is a mute.

It would be great of the government if they could give small quantity distillers a break on the cost of Licensing .

Kentuckians check in 👋

Some areas it's not illegal to drink it, it's illegal to sell it. Difference.

Зачетное видео

Massive!!!

I don’t drink but I am watching this video I don’t know why 😅

That hurt my heart to watch him pour Angel's Envy into a shot glass 😔

Hei! Nokatsellaan Tääkin. Noi Loppuun Asgi.

I love bourbon. and , its not just for breakfast

Missouri’s water is limestone. Hell our rivers are green tinged… Always wondered why we didn’t have renown bourbons…

I wish bars had free buffets today

I had no Idea New Orleans had so much to do with Bourbon

@46:36 The Cigar industry has similar great camaraderie.

i'm glad i watched.. grab a Cigar

Now wait a minute. All the tours i went to said they used to be taxed in the barrel now only taxed when its bottled...

Regarding the intro.... Would have done well to tell that lady we celebrate aspects of that history with a little thing called NASCAR

Prohibition wasn't an American experiment, England had it in the early 1800's and even Iceland had it before, the result was pretty much the same as in the United States

Omg- that’s where restaurant “86” came from

Four Roses! My first real drunk! One minute I was the life of the party, the next my mates mum was holding me under a cold shower, butt naked coz I'd puked all over myself! Never looked back! Hahaha

Are we sure “brand name” didn’t come from livestock that it was the branding of whiskey barrels? Not sure on that one…

Should called it Bourbon: Of Kentucky

Quote..... "There's only one limestone shelf in the country, and it's right in the middle of Kentucky.' Don't know what he means by 'shelf'. The only geological term i could find with' shelf' in it was continental shelf. And Kentucky is not on the coast of any ocean. If he meant deposit, limestone is all over the country. Austin Stone that wraps houses is from a limestone quarry in the Austin, Texas area. That limestone deposit also contains aquifers.. If he meant the was only one limestone aquifer in the country he's sorely mistaken. There's plenty of limestone water all across the United States. There is an enormous limestone formation/deposit in Kentucky known as Lexington limestone that covers a great deal of central Kentucky but it is by no stretch of the imagination the only one in the country. But hey.. Let's make some people believe nonsense to sell some more hooch.. What the harm in that?

Really interesting doc with great discussion from industry greats. However, it is so unnerving as to almost be hilarious that there is not a single woman from the industry featured! What better way to speak to the popularity and growth of bourbon in the last several years than to feature literally any woman from any distillery!

anyone have a link for those woodford reserve glasses shown?

Isn't it false to say it's illegal to drink in dry county? I thought the prohibition was sales. If you bought alcohol elsewhere, you can drink it.
