Karl Cook is a champion equestrian with an Instagram following of nearly 280-thousand people who wants to build a small distillery on property he bought last fall. When asked why he selected Madison County, Kentucky for his entry into the bourbon business, he said it began with horses.
“Then through my time spent in Kentucky, you know, I started to drink more bourbon, started to get to know people in the bourbon-making industry, which is not hard in this area, and I just fell in love with it.”
