Description

The art of creating and consuming bourbon is exploding, Carla Carlton’s Barrel Strength Bourbon is a should read for all bourbon aficionados.

Barrel Strength Bourbon provides an in-depth examination of the bourbon industry in Kentucky, the creation of an American spirit, its resurrection following Prohibition, its astronomical growth in the past decade, and its potential for the future.
Readers will meet the colorful family of characters who craft bourbon by hand, visit the picturesque distilleries along rural backroads and urban centers, and learn the secrets of an American original.

The creator, Carla Harris Carlton, gives readers an up-close look at how bourbon is made, how the industry was built, and how the close-knit families of bourbon crafters continue to grow a multibillion-dollar global industry whilst staying true to their Kentucky roots.

Readers will learn how to nose, taste, and appreciate a spirit that, whilst created from time-tested recipes, is evolving so quickly that new varieties and brands appear weekly on liquor store shelves.

The creator, a leading bourbon journalist who routinely helps select barrels for special edition bottlings and tastes new products before most bartenders do, takes readers on a at the back of-the-scenes tour of distilleries and rickhouses, shares anecdotes from her chats with bourbon legends, and provides insight on what to expect next from probably the most fastest growing spirits on Earth.

Also available are two companion ebooks:
