The Nunn Center’s Bourbon in Kentucky Oral History Collection was
featured in the most recent issue of Kentucky
Monthly in a story written by Kristy
Robinson Horine.
Bourbon has been a part of Kentucky
culture and heritage since it was first distilled there in the late eighteenth
century. Since then the industry has expanded to international markets and
proved to be a major industry for the state of Kentucky. This collection chronicles
Kentucky distilleries with interviews from family members, employees, and local
historians. Topics addressed in the collection include the history and process
of bourbon production, governmental regulations on bourbon, the industry's
economic struggles and successes, family involvement in the companies, and the
industry's affect on the community.
