Reviewer: Leigh Bedford, Librarian II
Fascinating look at the history of "America's Whiskey." The book is arranged chronically, starting with George Washington's home distillery and up to modern times, when bourbon is manufactured in huge plants by huge corporations. Prohibition is covered of course, and how clever marketing affects sales. Even teetotalers will find this book intriguing.
