Kentucky’s bourbon industry continues to create jobs, promote tourism, and have an increasingly positive economic impact on the commonwealth, according to a recent report.
The report was conducted by Paul Coomes, an economics professor at the University of Louisville, and commissioned by the nonprofit Kentucky Distillers’ Association.
The report found that the industry was responsible for 22,500 jobs in 2020 — double the number of jobs in 2009, according to Governor Andy Beshear.
The number of distilleries also has grown. With 95 distilleries, that is three times as many as there were 20 years ago.
