Características

The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentuckys illustrious gift to the world of spirits. Although the story of American whiskey is recorded in countless lively pages of our nations history, the place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. Not a recipe book or a barmans guide, but a fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that many have long suppressed or overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquors presence during Americas early development, as well as bourbons role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the whiskey forts of the fur trade. The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture.
