Book excerpt: A wide expanse of ocean just seaward of Vancouver Island, Whiskey 601 was the place the Canadian Navy went to stretch its muscles among the high Pacific rollers. In the summer of 1983, Leading Seaman Matt Petersen regarded "Whiskey" as an awful place on the chart that was dreadfully distant from the girl he loved. Everything changed when he became embroiled in a cold war mishap, which lead Matt to understand how the perceived enemy was simply a sailor, just like him. About the Book... "Whiskey 601" is the story of Matt Petersen, a sailor in the Canadian Navy. In August 1983, Matt suddenly finds himself posted to the Mackenzie, an aging destroyer escort based in Esquimalt, British Columbia. While in the Mackenzie, Matt encounters plenty of camaraderie among his new shipmates, but conflict with others, such as the tyrannical Executive Officer. Shipboard life, cleaning stations, navy food, watch-keeping and never-ending exercises are all integral to the story. With a healthy dose of humour and sailor stories, the readers will feel immersed in shipboard life. Experience the anticipation of a port visit, and the result of giving a group of men freedom for just one weekend, where indulgence in alcohol and sexual exploits were always on the itinerary. The objectification of women was rampant back in the 1980s, and a pretty woman on the jetty would bring the work of the entire ship's company to a halt. Many different personalities are brought to life, including a sailor who makes prolific use of the "F" word, a ladies' man with a woman in every port, a "scrapper" who consistently walks around with his hands balled up into fists and a "stoker" who goes above and beyond to be known as a disgusting pig. While all fictitious, they are based on first person experience with personalities that actually served in the Navy. Personal relationships also figure prominently. When sailors are away, they miss their significant others, but infidelity is never far away... something with which many sailors are familiar, one way or another. With the Cold War at its height in 1983, we see the fear of the Soviets and how they feel about Canadians and Americans. We also see the same fear in the eyes of the Canadians. What will happen when the two factions are forced together? From satisfied readers... "Humorous and witty, Whiskey 601 tells a story of the Navy before the age of political correctness." "When the story ended, I wanted there to be more." "It took me back to my days on those ships. The rotten officers, the bad food and the camaraderie of good wingers."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentucky's illustrious gift to the world of spirits. Although the story of American whiskey is recorded in countless lively pages of our nation's history, the place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. Not a recipe book or a barman's guide, but a fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that many have long suppressed or overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquor's presence during America's early development, as well as bourbon's role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the "whiskey forts" of the fur trade. The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture.

Book excerpt: “Pulls aside the curtain of puffery to show . . . the business of liquor to be every bit as fascinating as the fictions in which the distillers love to swaddle themselves.” —Wayne Curtis, The Wall Street Journal Walk into a well-stocked liquor store and you’ll see countless whiskey brands, each boasting an inspiring story of independence and heritage. And yet, more than 95% of the nation’s whiskey comes from a small handful of giant companies with links to organized crime, political controversy, and a colorful history that is far different than what appears on modern labels. In Bourbon Empire, Reid Mitenbuler shows how bourbon, America’s most iconic style of whiskey, and the industry surrounding it, really came to be—a saga of shrewd capitalism as well as dedicated craftsmanship. Mitenbuler traces the big names—Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Evan Williams, and more—back to their origins, exploring bourbon’s founding myths and great successes against the backdrop of America’s economic history. Illusion is separated from reality in a tale reaching back to the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, when the ideologies of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton battled to define the soul of American business. That debate continues today, punctuated along the way by Prohibition-era bootleggers, the liquor-fueled origins of NASCAR, intense consolidation driven by savvy lobbying, and a Madison Avenue plot to release five thousand parrots—trained to screech the name of a popular brand—into the nation’s bars. Today, the whiskey business takes a new turn as a nascent craft distilling movement offers the potential to revolutionize the industry once again. But, as Mitenbuler shows, many take advantage of this excitement while employing questionable business practices, either by masquerading whiskey made elsewhere as their own or by shortcutting the proven production standards that made many historic brands great to begin with. A tale of innovation, success, downfall, and resurrection, Bourbon Empire is an exploration of the spirit in all its unique forms, creating an indelible portrait of both American whiskey and the people who make it.
