Bourbon in Lexington, Kentucky

Bourbon In The Heart Of Kentucky

Something you can’t quite put your finger on. The grass is a little greener. The bourbon a little tastier. It’s almost magical. The source of this magic? Limestone. Just below our surface there’s a limestone shelf, and the natural spring water that passes through it gives this place life. It grows meadow after meadow, and farm after farm of lush Kentucky Bluegrass. It nourishes the world’s fastest horses, and it gives America’s Native Spirit an unmatched purity that will keep you coming back for more.
