Book Description
Kentucky Bourbon: The Early Years of Whiskeymaking tells the story of bourbon’s evolution, debunking many popular myths along the way. Back in print for the first time in twenty five years, Kentucky Bourbon looks at a variety of subjects from the role of alcohol in colonial America and in the lives of frontiersmen to the importance of the Kentucky product in the Revolutionary War. Like a fine liquor, the book has aged well in its elegance and complexity.
About The Author
Henry G. Crowgey was professor of History at University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
Reader Reviews
Crowgey has delivered a thoroughly delightful in-depth and detailed academic-level history of the origins of America's Native Spirit, Bourbon. If you're looking for mixed drink recipes or techniques on how to make the latest shooter, you're in the wrong place. If you're truly interested in the wheres and whys of the origin of Bourbon, you'll be in heaven. Crowgey's writing style can get a bit pedestrian at times but the facts and details here come through loud and clear. He debunks some of the myths, he lays out the facts as they were, and we're better Bourbon connoisseurs for having read him. You can enjoy Bourbon without reading this book, but you'll understand Bourbon better if you do.
