Tennessee and Kentucky are neighboring states, with Tennessee to the south of the bluegrass state. However, Kentucky does produce 95% of the world’s bourbon, mainly due to the abundance of natural limestone-filtered water and the seasonal temperatures that help expand and contract the distillate in the barrel over time. While some people think bourbon can only come from Kentucky, that is simply untrue - it just has to be made in the United States - and, in fact, all 50 states have produced bourbons, for better or worse.
