text: I was glad to join Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) to introduce a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of Congress officially codifying Bourbon?Ûªs status as a distinctive product of the United States of America. As the Lithuanian Ambassador remarked while he toured some of Kentucky?Ûªs finest distilleries, Bourbon is the ?ÛÏdrink of freedom.?Û?  We thank all of the hardworking men and women in the Commonwealth who make this uniquely American spirit such a great product and will continue working to promote Kentucky's signature Bourbon industry.
