Beverage alcohol has been a part of American culture since the first European settlers arrived with their family recipes for beers and spirits and founded their own distilleries and alehouses. Yet it wasn't until Kentuckians began distilling whiskey from corn in the late eighteenth century that America would find its national drink--bourbon whiskey." A biography of the Beam family and plenty of history on Kentucky from the earliest days when Jabob Beam first arrived there 200 years ago to the present. ; 235 x 160mm; xvi, 240 pages
