From farmers trying to market their crop surplus before it went bad to the multinational firms that exist today, this book tells the birth and the ups and downs of a truly American spirit. If you love Bourbon, and/or American History, this book is for you. Because, as it turns out, you can hardly tell the story of America without telling the story of Bourbon.
One of my favorite quotes:
Prohibition never had majority support in the United States, but it succeeded through brilliant organization and ruthless politics.
