Go down the steps into the basement of 54-year-old Mark Rucker’s home in Lexington and you immediately come upon small tables, shelves, and closets full of bourbon. All sizes, shapes, and brands.
Rucker does not have an exact count, but he says his wife estimates it’s in the range of 500 to 600 bottles. Many come from Kentucky distilleries. Most of the bourbon made in the world is produced and aged in Kentucky according to the Kentucky Department of Tourism.
