Bourbon whiskey was declared “America’s native spirit” on May 4, 1964 by an act of Congress. This recognition placed bourbon in a category of its own, asserting that only whiskey produced within the borders of the United States could carry the coveted bourbon label. A declaration like this solidified the significance of bourbon not just in American culture but also on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
