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.
