Yesterday, Representatives Andy Barr (KY-06) and Morgan McGarvey (KY-03), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Bourbon Caucus, introduced a bipartisan resolution to designate September as National Bourbon Heritage Month. This move celebrates the bourbon capital of the world and marks the 25th anniversary of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
"Bourbon is more than just a beverage - it's a proud symbol of Kentucky's rich heritage and craftsmanship," said Congressman Barr. "I'm honored to join my colleague, Rep. Morgan McGarvey, in introducing a resolution to designate September as Bourbon Heritage Month, celebrating an industry that supports thousands of jobs and contributes significantly to our state and national economy. This month, we raise a glass to the tradition, innovation, and passion that make Kentucky bourbon the best in the world."
"Kentucky is the birthplace of bourbon - its heritage is woven throughout two centuries of our commonwealth's history," said Congressman McGarvey. "I love working alongside Rep. Barr, as co-chairs of the Congressional Bourbon Caucus, to strengthen one of Kentucky's signature industries and biggest economic drivers, and I'm proud to introduce this resolution to honor the significance and history of America's Native Spirit."
