📘X:03a - THE LOST HISTORY OF BOURBON: Between Truth and Lore

Welcome to another packed episode of whiskey knowledge from the origins of Bourbon. The frontier is being settled, the word Bourbon reaches Kentucke Country, and now it's time to dig deeper into early distilling. In the first part of Chapter 3, we'll dig into the story of one of the candidates for first distiller. If you know me, you know how I feel about claiming firsts, so expect a skeptical take. Then, we'll head toward finding a market for all of this whiskey as we arrive at the second half of the chapter. It's a unique take on Bourbon history and a rare opportunity to hear the rough draft of a history book as it is being written. Enjoy! Drew Hannush
