As one of the commonwealth's signature industries, bourbon distilling has influenced the landscape and heritage of the region for more than two centuries. Blending several topicstax revenue, railroads, the mechanics of brewing, geography, landscapes, and architecturethis primer and geographical guide presents a detailed history of the development of Kentucky's distilling industry.Nineteenthcentury distilling changed from an artisanal craft practiced by farmers and millers to a largescale mechanized industry that practiced increasingly refined production techniques.
