With all the aging bourbon...
There are currently over 9 million barrels of bourbon in Kentucky rickhouse storage.
Population of the state around 4.5 million.
Each barrel produces around 200 750 ml bottles.
2019 was the first time the inventory topped 9 million. Previous high was 8.7 million in 1968.
Where the industry was and what happened when the rebellious youth of the 70's and 80's went to the clear spirits. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint. -

Where the industry was and what happened when the rebellious youth of the 70's and 80's went to the clear spirits. FWIW-I'm fairly certain I'm in that six sigma group of people that have consumed the top amounts of bourbon by the mid fifties age. (3.4 per mil). It was fun being a classy bourbon drinker while it lasted....Do you know what the average age a barrel spends in a warehouse? The inventory is generally ready in half that time. Pretty hard to anticipate demand.

@Nolaegghead - good question about aging. In the interest of forum learning, here are the rules that need to be met to be considered bourbon:
Bourbon Requirements
On 4 May 1964, the United States Congress recognized Bourbon Whiskey as a “distinctive product of the United States.” The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits (27 CFR 5) state that bourbon must meet these requirements:
- Bourbon must be made of a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
- Bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume).
- Bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels.
- Bourbon may not be introduced to the barrel at higher than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume).
- Bourbon which meets the above requirements and has been aged for a minimum of two years, may (but is not required to) be called Straight Bourbon.
- Bourbon aged for a period less than four years must be labeled with the duration of its aging.
- If an age is stated on the label, it must be the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle.
- Only whiskey produced in the United States can be called bourbon.

Given how well US wine producers respect the similar EU rules regarding “Champaign”, I have to wonder how much this US “rule” is obeyed….lousubcap said:- Only whiskey produced in the United States can be called bourbon.

@Kayak - you definitely run in a much more rarified circle. None of the surface craft I have owned could get within a few orders of magnitude of being a yacht, never mind super.
