Progressive bourbon

I was in the liquor store and was stumped on bourbon. Oh, I know what Kentucky bourbon I like but I don’t want to spend money on rwers. To ge called bourbon it has to be distilled in Kentucky, so maybe Im just looking for a good whiskey from a blue business. And I probably don’t care where that is.

Any suggestions on a liberal leaning Kentucky distiller or good bourbon/whiskey from somewhere else? Though I may not be able to buy it locally, I’ll figure something out.

Thanks.

Woman owned company. They make a nice bourbon and their gin is fantastic!

We can get it in our local liquor store. Not sure if it's available elsewhere.

They apparently make a Red State as well. Distilleries fear weed, so probably red.

There are a bunch of craft distilleries around the country, some of which are likely blue.

are on the political spectrum. The only bourbons I saw were Wild Turkey and Jim Beam, and you can guess where they are. I like the Kickin' Chicken, but they do have a lot of redneck fans.

It instantly alienates half of your potential customer base. Your only option then is to double down on dumbness like Mike Lindell.

'Nuff said.
