Quote:
"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die."
"The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters."
~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Facts: Bourbon
1.) Many people assume it has to come from Kentucky, but that’s not true. While over 95% of the world’s bourbon does come from the Bluegrass State, it can technically be made anywhere in the country. This legal requirement was solidified by Congress in 1964 when bourbon was declared “America’s native spirit.” (I love the deep burn of a good Bourbon.)
2.) After their first and only use, these barrels are often sold to distilleries in Scotland, Ireland, and even Mexico, where they give new life to Scotch, Irish whiskey, tequila, and even rum. This rule ensures bourbon gets maximum flavor from fresh oak each time. (If it works.)
