The two are most commonly known as Kentucky Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey throughout most of the eastern part of the United States. There are other types of whiskey, such as Canadian whiskey.

Everyone knows about the coal industry in Appalachia but not many people know about the whiskey industry that takes place as well (Caleb).
