Bourbon - A Commitment to American Whiskey

Description

At the beginning of the 18th century, a Swiss family named Oberholzer moves to faraway America. Almost 100 years later, their descendants, who now call themselves Overholt, begin to focus on the production of whiskey. With this example, whiskey connoisseur Thomas Domenig traces the beginnings of the whiskey brand "Old Overholt" in his work "Bourbon - A Commitment to American Whiskey".

The example of "Old Overholt" shows in an exemplary way how American whiskey has developed over the last 250 years: from the agricultural sideline, to the emergence of brands with national appeal, to the impending end due to Prohibition, to the comeback of the last decades. But Domenig doesn't just look at the history of bourbon, rye and co., he also takes a closer look at the world of American whiskey today.
