NBC Producing Bourbon Workplace Comedy Set in Kentucky

Dallas had oil, Dynasty had oil, and Kentucky? Well, we have bourbon. And how this industry has never been the subject of a TV series is beyond me. However soon, a sitcom about our beloved bourbon is in the works or it's aging in a barrel. 

Whiskey And Tequila Continue To Increase Market Share Over Beer Within U.S.

Vertigo, the production company behind the number one film at the box office right now, oh yeah IT, is co-producing the series with Warner Bros for NBC.

The series is entitled, ahem, Sour Mash. Here is the synopsis:

"Written by Gagerman and Waller, Sour Mash is about a brilliant Latina chemist from Brooklyn with a passion for making bourbon who is tapped to become the master distiller at a failing family-owned distillery in Kentucky. She finds that making great bourbon is easy compared to dealing with the eccentric family that hired her."

Oh do I love a "fish out of water" or in this case a "fish out of bourbon" story.
