The art of creating and consuming bourbon is exploding, Carla
Carlton's Barrel Strength Bourbon is a must read for all bourbon
aficionados. Barrel Strength Bourbon provides an in-depth
examination of the bourbon industry in Kentucky, the creation of an
American spirit, its resurrection following Prohibition, its
astronomical growth in the past decade, and its potential for the
future. Readers will meet the colorful family of characters who
craft bourbon by hand, visit the picturesque distilleries along
rural backroads and urban centers, and learn the secrets of an
American original. The author, Carla Harris Carlton, gives readers
an up-close look at how bourbon is made, how the industry was
built, and how the close-knit families of bourbon crafters continue
to grow a multibillion-dollar global industry while staying true to
their Kentucky roots. Readers will learn how to nose, taste, and
appreciate a spirit that, while created from time-tested recipes,
is evolving so quickly that new varieties and brands appear weekly
on liquor store shelves. The author, a leading bourbon journalist
who routinely helps select barrels for special edition bottlings
and tastes new products before most bartenders do, takes readers on
a behind-the-scenes tour of distilleries and rickhouses, shares
anecdotes from her chats with bourbon legends, and provides insight
on what to expect next from one of the fastest growing spirits on
Earth. Also available are two companion ebooks: Spirited
Perfection: Building Your Bourbon Bar (ASIN: B07333YXMM) In the
past 10 years, choosing a bourbon has gone from underwhelming to
overwhelming and author Carla Carlton is here to help you navigate
this boom. In this book, she offers tasting notes on various

Carlton also helps you choose the appropriate bar tools, glassware
and mixers to have on hand. Still Life: The Resurgence of Craft
Bourbon (ASIN: B07335HMMM) The art of creating and consuming
bourbon is exploding. Today you will find craft bourbon
distilleries in all 50 states. As mixologists and distillers find

trade, the world is taking notice. It's in the middle of this
expanding industry that author Carla Carlton takes the time to
connect all the dots for you, the bourbon enthusiast. She concisely
maps out the seeds of the newest trends and shows why certain
classic bourbon brands and bottles have grown while others have
been washed away. These special edition e-only books are a
wonderful and informative read on their own, but are also the
perfect chaser to Carlton's Barrel Strength Bourbon, now out in
