669. Why Is 95 Percent of the World’s Bourbon Made in Kentucky?
Andrew Muhammad, a trade economist, joins Danny Kahn, a master distiller, Brad Patrick, a bourbon industry researcher, and Ken Troske, a labor economist. They dig into why Kentucky dominates bourbon, how aging and barrel rules shape the business, why a boom became a glut, and how tariffs, taxes, tourism, and canned cocktails are reshaping the market.
