June 14, is National Bourbon Day and Georgians can rejoice in knowing that they among the states where there are loyal bourbon drinkers.
The United States is a huge domestic market for its whiskeys. Indeed, the American market for whiskey is so deep that it can both consume several times more of its own whiskeys than the rest of the world put together, and at the same time be the largest importer of whiskies from the other four member nations of whiskey’s Big Five. Georgia is one of the leaders when it comes to bourbon drinkers.
Exports to other countries are also an important facet of the bourbon trade. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey exports topped $1 billion, last year.
And bourbon isn’t just for drinking. It is also a popular ingredient in recipes for meals and desserts.
