While every day is National Bourbon Day to a true bourbon lover, tomorrow is the official day – and SlotSource.com has compiled the favorite bourbon in every state in the U.S.

Using stats from both WikiliQ and Google Trends, coming up with the top bourbon brands in the U.S. and then examining Googe search data from the past 90 days.

The most popular bourbon overall is Jack Daniel’s (19 states). After that, the order goes Jim Beam (10 states), Maker’s Mark (10 states), Bulleit (7 states), and Basil Hayden’s (5 states). 

(SlotSource said it included Jack Daniel’s on the list even though it might be controversial. Technically, the company doesn’t call its spirit a bourbon. It prefers “Tennessee whiskey.”)

In Kentucky, Bourbon’s home state, the top brand is Jim Beam, according to the study. And that holds true for surrounding states Indiana and West Virginia, as well. But if you head south – and west – Jack Daniel’s finds its footing as one of America’s favorite brands.

In fact, Jack’s domination of the south is, well, pretty convincing. Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee all apparently favor Jack Daniel’s, with Georgia dissenting as a Jim Beam loving state and South Carolina preferring Basil Hayden’s, collectively.

Head out west, and it’s more of the same. Jack Daniel’s is the favorite in Oklahoma, Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada and Utah. Interestingly, however, Texas stands apart, preferring Bulleit, one of six states scattered across the U.S. to come out as Bulleit fans.

Head north, and you’ll find people sipping plenty of Maker’s Mark in Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and many others, not to mention northeastern states like Deleware, Maryland and Massachussetts. (New York and New Jersey prefer Jack Daniel’s.)

Of course, there are no wrong answers for celebrating National Bourbon Day, especially for Americans. Bourbon Day is a uniquely American celebration because bourbon is a 100% American spirit. In fact, for a whiskey to be considered bourbon it must be made in the U.S.

Here are some tips from SlotSource for enjoying National Bourbon Day:

• Try it for the first time – ask a friend who understands whiskey to help out.
• Throw a bourbon sampling party. Do a taste test and have everyone rate the bourbon they taste on a rating sheet.
• Bourbon’s not just for drinking. Use it to flavor a bourbon pecan pie or a bourbon addition to a chocolate milkshake.
