Members of the Kentucky Legislature are trying to quickly push through a bill to significantly raise taxes on alcohol in Kentucky. Listen to BourbonBlog.com’s audio podcast interview below as President of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association Eric Gregory explains how damaging this could be to the bourbon industry AND why your urgent action is needed by calling 800-372-7181 and tell them vote NO ALCOHOL TAX. You can also make contact with other politicians listed below the podcast. We have respectfully called all of them explaining that we are listing contact info on this site and everyone has been open to our comments.
