Bourbon whiskey has been around for hundreds of years. The United States’ roots of the spirit are tied to settlers that came over to North America in the mid-1700s.
It is reported that Lyndon B. Johnson gave the spirit his presidential stamp in 1964 and declared bourbon “The Official Spirit of America.”
