Publisher's Synopsis
The second book in the series, Talk Bourbon to Me 2 explores the essential elements of bourbon hospitality.
Bourbon whiskey. It's an economic power engine in the Commonwealth of Kentucky - an eight-and-a-half billion dollar industry that attracts a million visitors each year. Such an imprint doesn't happen by chance. It takes a certain breed of people to create that world - people with an attitude of generosity, tenacity, and persistence.
Talk Bourbon to Me 2 explores that world, from the industry's first visionaries in the 1800s to today's distillery owners and distillers, visitor guides and ambassadors.
