Bourbon and Beer Depend on Quality Water

95% of the world’s bourbon is made in Kentucky. And it has everything to do with location.

The unique limestone water in the region attracted the first bourbon distillers centuries ago.

Since 1860, Louisville Water has played a significant role in each of these industries, resulting in a strong relationship with brewers and distillers across the state today. Louisville Water serves:
