Bourbon lovers -- have no fear. You'll never have to worry about running out of bourbon in the state of Kentucky.

The Kentucky Distillers' Association tweeted Wednesday that Kentucky now has two barrels of bourbon and aging spirits for every person living in the Commonwealth.

The Association said last year, the state had 9 million barrels in inventory, which has been the highest inventory since records were kept starting in 1967. In comparison, there are currently around 4.5 million people living in Kentucky.

“This is a historic day that cements Kentucky’s rightful title as the one, true and authentic home for Bourbon and distilled spirits,” KDA president Eric Gregory said. “It’s also further proof of Kentucky Bourbon’s monumental economic impact and ever-increasing demand.”

The Kentucky bourbon industry has generated $8.6 billion and has created 20,100 jobs.
