Here are 5 things I learned reading, Bourbon Empire, By: Reid Mitenbuler (Amazon)
1. Bourbon started in America as a way to preserve the leftover corn harvest, before it rotted.
2. The first Thanksgiving was at Berkeley Plantation, over a year before the Thanksgiving at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
3. George Washington had his own whiskey distillery.
4. Prohibition never had a majority support in the USA.
5. 95% of all bourbon is made in Kentucky.
