Barrel Strength Bourbon: The Explosive Growth of America's Whiskey

How has an industry that was on the rocks 30 years ago become the toast of the town? Carla Carlton examines the creation of a uniquely American spirit, its resurrection after Prohibition and its astronomical surge in the past decade, and the ways in which bourbon crafters are growing a multibillion-dollar global industry while staying true to their Kentucky roots.

Also available are two companion ebooks:
