SynopsisOn May 4, 1964, Congress designated bourbon as a distinctive product of the United States, and it remains the only spirit produced in this country to enjoy such protection. Its history stretches back almost to the founding of the nation and includes many colorful characters, both well known and obscure, from the hatchet-wielding prohibitionist Carry Nation to George Garvin Brown, who in 1872 created Old Forester, the first bourbon to be sold only by the bottle.

Great Introductory Book
It doesn't go into great detail about any one subject but it covers a little of everything. I wish it would have been my first book. It's going in the home library though. The author appears to be very knowledgeable and provides insight. The book is an easy read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
