Nearly 20 distilleries will be on hand Saturday for the Missouri Bourbon Festival, and the promised taste of Missouri's finest led the event to sell out in its first year.

Other areas of the state represented include Branson, Kansas City, Springfield and St. Louis.

Back in 2019, the state — like its peers in Kentucky and Tennessee — set out official guidelines for any product labeled Missouri bourbon.

House Bill 266 mandates that "any whiskey labeled as Missouri bourbon must not only meet the federal standards for bourbon, but also be mashed, fermented, distilled, aged and bottled in the state; aged in oak barrels manufactured in the state; and ... made with corn exclusively grown in the state,"


 
Distilleries are popping up all over the country these days along with breweries.
In 2008 Texas only had 8 today we have 190.
It's great to go out and taste what your state has to offer.
I just found out that Texas has native olive trees and there's a new company making olive oil from the olives.
Cant wait to try those out.
