"""Drew Hannush finally gives whiskey geeks what they didn't know they've been missing by giving Tennessee whiskey the long overdue credit it deserves! His fascinating storytelling and intensive research into Tennessee's unique distilling history takes the state out of Kentucky's shadow and allows whiskeyphiles to see American whiskey history through fresh eyes."" LAURA FIELDS // Founder of the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation and the SeedSpark(TM) Project ""The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey is a great example of a new style of spirits book that places the distilling tradition squarely within its place and time. Every state has stories and Tennessee's are particularly rich. Hannush has done mountains of research but presents this history with a storyteller's flair for the right detail."" ANDREW BRAUNBERG // Author of Fires, Floods, Explosions & Bloodshed: A History of Texas Whiskey ""The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey sets a course correction for all of American Distilling history! No more is the narrative stuck to the confines of Kentucky with a few outliers to the south nor confined simply to the quality of the oak barrel. This book will resurrect old brands and open the minds of researchers in many other states"" ALAN BISHOP // The Alchemist & Head Distiller at Spirits of French Lick ""It is refreshing to see someone finally take the time to not only shine a light on our state's distilling history but to go to such great lengths to uncover things that even the most knowledgeable people in the industry didn't know."" ALEX CASTLE // President of the Tennessee Distiller's Guild & Master Distiller at Old Dominick"
