"text": "National Bourbon Day is dedicated to bourbon, a type of whiskey made only in the United States. In order to be classified as bourbon it also must be made of a grain mixture of at least 51% corn, be aged in new, charred oak containers, be distilled at no more than 160 proof, be put in barrels at no more than 125 proof, and be bottled at 80 proof (40%) or more. Although it does not need to be made in Kentucky, most is. There is some debate on who the first person to distill bourbon was, but there is a consensus it was made by settlers that came to Bourbon County, which was originally part of Virginia, and was established in 1785. This area is now known as Old Bourbon County, and is comprised of 34 counties in the state of Kentucky. These settlers came following the American Revolution, and were Scots-Irish, as well as English, Irish, Welsh, German, and French. The name of the whiskey most likely draws its name from Bourbon County, but some believe it is derived from Bourbon Street in New Orleans, a city to where a lot of bourbon was shipped, via the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Although bourbon sales lagged in the 1970's and 1980's, today the sales are booming!",
