In Bourbon, Strange, many of characteristics that make bourbon a mite peculiar are clearly explained, such as how bourbon is made, how collectors find and identify rare bottles, how whiskey is marketed and regulated, and why people argue so much about spelling. About the Author Bourbon, Strange is a book only Chuck Cowdery could write. He is a Kentucky Colonel and a 2009 inductee into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. In addition to 2004’s Bourbon, Straight, he wrote The Best Bourbon You’ll Never Taste, the True Story of A. H. Hirsch Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Distilled in the Spring of 1974 (2012), and wrote and produced what is still the definitive documentary about Kentucky bourbon, 1992’s ”Made and Bottled in Kentucky.” He is a regular contributor to Whisky Advocate magazine, and the editor and publisher of The Bourbon Country Reader, now in its 20th year as the indispensable, independent source for American whiskey news and information.
