"Bourbon and rye" would have been more accurate than "Kentucky Bourbon," but they did it at the Kentucky Governor's Mansion and it was put on by the Kentucky Distillers Association, so you can see where they're coming from. <br /><br />You're correct that "Kentucky" wasn't mentioned in the Taft Decision.<br /><br />I omitted some even more Kentucky-centric statements that were in the original press release.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-52907832490340585912009-12-18T16:11:55.489-06:002009-12-18T16:11:55.489-06:00Wait a minute, Chuck.

I'd be willing to bet that there's nothing in the Taft decision that mentions Kentucky, not that it wouldn't be wholly appropriate for them to recognize this important contribution to the industry as a whole.<br /><br />A lot of "distilleries" both north and south of the Mason-Dixon line disappeared shortly after this decision, to the ultimate benefit of the American drinking public.<br /><br />Love the blog, BTW.
