Whiskey Lore: Volume One invites readers on an enthralling journey through the myths, legends, and truths that have shaped the world of whiskey. From the rolling hills of Kentucky to the windswept landscapes of Scotland, this meticulously researched volume uncovers the fascinating stories behind 24 whiskey myths.

With a blend of historical storytelling, myth-busting investigation, and whiskey appreciation, Drew Hannush delves into everything from the origin of the term ""America's Native Spirit"" to the contentious debate over whether Jack Daniel's is Bourbon and the oft-repeated tales of medicinal whiskey licenses during Prohibition. Learn why different countries spell whiskey differently, the true meaning behind terms like ""master distiller"" and whether all Irish whiskey is ""triple distilled.""

Drew Hannush's engaging storytelling style seamlessly intertwines history, culture, and the pursuit of truth, offering readers not only a deeper understanding of whiskey but also a window into the times and traditions that shaped its rise. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur, a casual sipper, or a history buff, Whiskey Lore: Volume One will challenge what you think you know about whiskey and leave you thirsting for more.
