Imagine the misty hills of Kentucky, where towering rickhouses stand as silent sentinels, holding secrets that stretch back over two centuries.  What if I told you that a series of unexpected events - triggered by some of the most influential figures in American history -  led to the birth of something truly iconic? A rebellion, an escape, and a group of pioneers all set the stage for what would become the heart and soul of Kentucky: Bourbon. Can all these events be traced back to the ideas of one man? A founding father of our country? I think so. Listen in as I go back in time and explain how his ideas brought about the birth of America's Spirit....Bourbon!
