Bourbon Empire: The Past and Future of America's Whiskey

While it seems like you have plenty of choice when it comes to whiskey, in actually 95% of whiskey in America is owned by a handful of mega-corporations. Of course these corps have ties to organized crime, political drama, and wild and wooly history that' belies the fanciful labels and branding. Bourbon Empire digs into the roots of whiskey giants like Jim Beam or Maker’s Mark, uncovering the founding myths established in the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794.If you like a bit of social history, then you'll likely read this with a "rye" smile.
