More Than A Drink,
It's A Story As Big As America.
Bourbon, Straight: The Uncut and Unfiltered Story of American Whiskey, tells the unique story of whiskey made the American way. More than just a drink, American whiskey has been an integral part of American history and culture throughout history. Presidents made and sold it. Taxes on it fund the government. It launched the modern advertising industry, made the first railroads roll and made the Wild West wild. Because its primary ingredient is native to this continent, it is uniquely American.
Although it has had plenty of ups and downs in its 300+ year history--and was banned entirely for 13 years--today American whiskey is thriving, here at home and around the world.
Detailed, clear, authoritative, insightful, independent and fun to read, BOURBON, STRAIGHT: The Uncut and Unfiltered Story of American Whiskey by Charles K. Cowdery, covers American whiskey from its colonial origins right up to the present day.
In BOURBON, STRAIGHT: The Uncut and Unfiltered Story of American Whiskey, you will discover the history of the American whiskey industry, how American whiskey is made and marketed, the differences among various types of American whiskey (bourbon, rye, Tennessee) and how they compare to other world whiskies.
