Bourbon is not just alcohol — this amber-coloured drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon has come to symbolise America. In \u003cem\u003eBourbon: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American Whiskey\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning whiskey author Fred Minnick traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World through today's booming resurgence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe also lays out in expert detail the critical role this spirit has played throughout the cultural and even political history of the nation — from Congress passing whiskey-protection laws to consumers standing in long lines just for a glimpse of a rare bottle of Pappy Van Winkle — complemented by more than 100 illustrations and photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd most importantly, Minnick explores the mystery of who most likely created the sweet corn liquor we now know as bourbon. He studies the men who've been championed as its inventors over time — from Daniel Boone's cousin to Baptist minister Elijah Craig — and, based on new research and never-before-seen documentation, answers the question of who deserves the credit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46997950136556,"sku":"9780760351727","price":64.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19445453482458.jpg?v=1763200222"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/fred-minnick.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
