Specificatii
Description On 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. Although obscured by myth, the
history of bourbon reflects the history of our nation. Historian
Michael R. Veach reveals the true story of bourbon in Kentucky
Bourbon Whiskey. Starting with the Whiskey Rebellion of the 1790s,
he traces the history of this unique beverage through the
Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, Prohibition, the Great
Depression, and up to the present. Veach explores aspects of
bourbon that have been ignored by others, including the technology
behind its production, the effects of the Pure Food and Drug Act,
and how Prohibition contributed to the Great Depression. The myths
surrounding bourbon are legion, but Veach separates fact from
legend. While the true origin of the spirit may never be known for
certain, he proposes a compelling new theory. With the explosion of
super-premium bourbons and craft distilleries and the establishment
of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, interest in bourbon has never been
higher. Veach shines a light on its pivotal place in our national
heritage, presenting the most complete and wide-ranging history of
bourbon available. About the Author Michael R. Veach is associate
curator of Special Collections at the Filson Historical Society. He
is a bourbon historian and a member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of
Fame.
