Praise for BUFFALO, BARRELS, & BOURBON

"This book is more than just a history of a world-class distillery. Pacult uses the story of Buffalo Trace to tell the very story of bourbon itself--the very story of Kentucky itself--with expert verve and wit. An immediate classic."

--Clay Risen, author of American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye: A Guide to the Nation's Favorite Spirit

"I could listen to Paul Pacult tell stories about the Buffalo Trace Distillery for days on end. That's a lot to ask of a guy, though, so I read his engaging book instead. And man, did it ever speak to me. It's an exhaustively researched and deftly written historical tome that is guaranteed to make you thirsty. With Buffalo, Barrels, & Bourbon, Paul Pacult continues his longtime reign as America's finest spirits scribe."

--Dan Dunn, author of American Wino: A Tale of Reds, Whites, and One Man's Blues

"Historically, a 'buffalo trace' was the path ground away by a herd of migrating bison. There were no maps to guide the pioneers along those trails, but in Buffalo, Barrels, & Bourbon, Paul has provided an excellent map to the trail of one of Kentucky's legendary distilleries. While the Buffalo Trace brand may be just a couple of decades old, it is built on a legacy dating back to the days of the pioneers, and Paul's extensive research provides the definitive guide to the story of Buffalo Trace from the Lees, Taylors, and Staggs to today's award-winning distillers."
