February Coupons — Up to 90% OFF Blanton's Bourbon Coupons

Although bourbon is not legally required to be produced in Kentucky, Blanton's Bourbon produces about 95% of the world's supply. Kentucky remains the capital of the bourbon dynasty today for several major reasons. Kentucky is the first western part of the United States. Many settled in what is now Kentucky as early settlers moved west in search of more land and resources. These settlers of Scottish, German and Irish descent brought their relics and knowledge. They soon discovered that Kentucky was an ideal place to make good whiskey. One reason is that large amounts of limestone sediments filter out unwanted minerals from the water used in the distillation process. Secondly, the soil and climate are suitable for planting corn. Bourbon is the main ingredient and unique source of sweetness. Since Blanton's Bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels, temperature changes cause the wood to repeatedly absorb and release the whisky, giving the finished product its characteristic oak aroma and amber color.
