Welcome to the Land of Bourbon & Rye: Your Premier Guide to the Imbibe Culture of Indiana & Kentucky.

Immerse yourself in American imbibe culture, at its heart, in the Land of Bourbon & Rye.

Nested inside the Ohio River Valley, is a culture steeped deep in whiskey making know-how. A place where whiskey is connected to the land and is a way of life. A place where the lore of moonshining, corn liquor and bourbon has passed from one generation to the next. Our focus is on two states within the valley that have made a particularly distinguished mark on the history and production of American whiskey: Indiana and Kentucky.

The Land of Bourbon & Rye is a directory of Indiana & Kentucky imbibe culture. Here you’ll find the finest craft cocktail bars in the backyard of America’s best whiskey distilleries. Each listing is vetted by Kevin Goodman, a craft cocktail connoisseur, mixologist and beverage writer actively working within the whiskey industry.

The Land of Bourbon & Rye isn’t just a directory; it’s a gateway to experiences that define the essence of American whiskey culture.

In this etching, the goddess Alkithoe (pronounced al-kee-tho-ee), the personification of whiskey, rests content with a mint julep in hand. Gentle rolling fields of grain give way to a distillery in the background. Alkithoe also features on the official Land of Bourbon & Rye logo.
