How bourbon came to be, and why it’s experiencing such a
revival today Unraveling the many myths and
misconceptions surrounding America’s most iconic spirit,
Bourbon Empire traces a history that spans frontier
rebellion, Gilded Age corruption, and the magic of Madison
Avenue. Whiskey has profoundly influenced America’s
political, economic, and cultural destiny, just as those
same factors have inspired the evolution and unique flavor
of the whiskey itself. Taking readers behind
the curtain of an enchanting—and sometimes
exasperating—industry, the work of writer Reid Mitenbuler
crackles with attitude and commentary about taste, choice,
and history. Few products better embody the United States,
or American business, than bourbon. A tale of
innovation, success, downfall, and resurrection, Bourbon
Empire is an exploration of the spirit in all its unique
forms, creating an indelible portrait of both bourbon and
the people who make it.
