Bourbon whiskey was named for the county. Whiskey distilling was important to the economy of frontier Kentucky because it provided a means of converting corn and other grain, then difficult to transport to distant markets, into a value-added product that could be profitably transported to markets as distant as New Orleans. By US law, for a whiskey to call itself "Bourbon Whiskey" it must have been made from a grain mash of no less than 51% corn, distilled at no more than 160 proof, and aged in new, charred oak barrels at no more than 125 proof. To be called "Straight Bourbon Whiskey," it must be so aged for at least two years. Today there are no operating distilleries in Bourbon County.

The county is home to several renowned thoroughbred race horse farms. Principal among these is Claiborne Farm. The famous Triple-Crown winning stallion Secretariat resided at the farm during his breeding career. Since its establishment, the farm has been home to the year's leading North American thoroughbred stallion (judged by racing earnings for its progeny) 18 times.
Industrial hemp for rope and bagging was at one time a major crop in the county. The criminalization of marijuana after World War I (briefly suspended during World War II) meant the end of this crop and its related industries. Some local farmers have joined the growing movement to de-criminalize industrial hemp, but the potential economic impact of such legislation, should it ever be enacted, remains a matter for debate.
Burley tobacco was a major crop until the 1990's, when increased competition from growers in the developing world and an uncertain future for the federal tobacco price support program caused many farmers to abandon the crop or sharply reduce investment in it.
Today, cattle farming is the dominant agricultural enterprise in the county after thorougbred horses. Long an important component of diversified agriculture in the county, cattle have come to dominate the operations of local farmers.
Employment in the county is increasingly industrial. One of the county's largest private employers is an automotive parts production facility.
