Louisville Is the Place to Be This Bourbon Heritage Month
Long before September was declared U.S. National Bourbon Heritage Month in 2007, Louisville, Kentucky, has been shining a spotlight on America’s Native Spirit. Once considered the “Wall Street of Whiskey” before prohibition decimated the industry in the 1920s, Louisville has recently undergone a city-wide renaissance largely thanks to the rising popularity of the Kentucky-born beverage. In 2013 the city began to reclaim its Wall Street of Whiskey title with the opening of the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience, which kicked off a Bourbon resurgence throughout the city. A decade later, new hotels, restaurants, cocktail bars, and festivals are riding the Bourbon wave as Louisville holds strong to the title of ‘Bourbon City’.
