Join the celebration of 250 year of Tennessee distilling!

For far too long, the real history and legacy of Tennessee whiskey has been hidden from whiskey fans. It's a history that not only predates Kentucky Bourbon but also the Whiskey Rebellion. From its early days, it is filled with amazing stories, legends, and villains. The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey will take you back to the very origins of the spirit, while introducing you to the amazing people who brought Tennessee into being. Names like Crockett, Jackson, and Boone will sit alongside forgotten 18th century distilling names like Stump, Boyd, and Kilgore. The history is so rich, it takes a full twelve chapters before Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel makes his first appearance.

Within this audiobook, you'll find out who the real George Dickel was. You'll meet revenuers and moonshiners and you'll have a front row seat for their battles. You'll understand how whiskey was made and why Tennessee became associated with the Lincoln County Process. You'll meet the real Jack Daniel and find out why he might not be the most important person in the distillery's history. You'll meet tavern owners who defied the odds and made Tennessee state history. You'll learn why calling a spirit Tennessee Bourbon wouldn't have been so well accepted in the 19th century. You'll understand names like Old Robertson and Old Lincoln and you'll get a sense of what made them unique. And you'll see how politics drove the industry down and almost didn't let it back up.

Be prepared to have your knowledge of American whiskey challenged.
