About the Author
Bourbon from Canada? Just sounds wrong. Very, very wrong.
First two bottles, bottled in Detroit, Mi then on to Canada…I’m from up north…didn’t know Detroit ever bottled Bourbon, but then I was much younger.
It was not till 1964 that a resolution of the U.S. Congress declared bourbon to be a “distinctive product of the United States.”
CANADA!!! Canadian Bourbon, that is something i wasn’t expecting. But it was 1936.
