Who Makes My Bourbon?

This is the fifth in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

About a year ago, GQ exerpted this great picture from David Haskell's The Kings County Distiller Guide to Urban Moonshining. Click the image on the left to see the detail. It’s pretty easy to see from this that there are really only thirteen major Bourbon producers in the United States. These 13 distilleries are owned by only nine companies.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You can’t walk into a liquor store and not see an entire 50 foot shelf of Bourbons with names you’ve never heard of. Some of them are even local. All of them have great stories on the back about how this particular Bourbon was the favorite of Ulysses S. Grant or Al Capone or was made by some hill-William from a secret family recipe only recently rediscovered inside a hollow log in Possum Lick, Kentucky. Like the Templeton Rye label to the left.

    Tasty, wished I had read the note and backed off the punt e mes a tad. I miss the jammyness ofnthe classic carpano.

    Published & curated to show as authentic recipe, with year, creator and establishment.

  • Re Giuseppe's Lady, 1 day 3 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    Published & curated to add establishment where it was created, approximate year, and to reword some of the history to avoid word-for-word copying from a portion of the reference.

  • Re Talisman, 1 day ago Mixin In Ansley commented:

    Used Solera and it was delicious, unctuous and raisiny with the scotch at the finish.

    Cut the mint syrup back to 2/3 oz and was still a touch too sweet, but nice nonetheless
