Bourbon: A History of the American Spirit by Dane Huckelbridge

3.0

I'm not a big Bourbon drinker. I've had some mixed in Diet Coke, but my passion is beer. I respect those that have passion, and after watching the Kentucky Derby and all the talk of Mint Juleps when I saw this book while waiting in line to grab a movie at the library I had to give it a try. Huckelbridge does an intersting view of American History as it is affected by Bourbon. My biggest contention is with him saying the American West was wild because of the Bourbon, while I'm a believer that it was the personalities drawn to the new frontier that made the west wild. However, I'm sure the Bourbon helped a little.
