In October 1919, Congress gave teeth to Prohibition. But the law didn't stop George Remus from amassing a fortune that would be worth billions of dollars today. As one Jazz Age journalist put it, \"Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil.\" Author Bob Batchelor breathes life into the largest illegal booze operation in America--greater than that of Al Capone--and a man considered the best criminal defense lawyer of his era. Remus bought an empire of distilleries on Kentucky's \"Bourbon Trail\" and used his other profession, as a pharmacist, to profit off legal loopholes. He spent millions bribing officials in the Harding Administration, and he created a roaring lifestyle that epitomized the Jazz Age over which he ruled. That is, before he came crashing down in one of the most sensational murder cases in American history: a cheating wife, the G-man who seduced her and put Remus in jail, and the plunder of a Bourbon Empire. Remus murdered his wife in cold-blood and then shocked a nation, winning his freedom based on a condition he invented--temporary maniacal insanity. Love, murder, political intrigue, mountains of cash, and rivers of bourbon...the tale of George Remus is a grand spectacle and a lens into the dark heart of Prohibition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.7 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 08, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67662939685140,"sku":"9781635767384","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/9860\/6868\/files\/0cH9IKSdVf9781635767384.webp?v=1791760525"},{"product_id":"barrel-strength-bourbon-the-explosive-growth-of-americas-whiskey-hardcover","title":"Barrel Strength Bourbon: The Explosive Growth of America's Whiskey - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eCarla Harris Carlton\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe art of creating and consuming bourbon is exploding, Carla Carlton's \u003ci\u003eBarrel Strength Bourbon\u003c\/i\u003e is a must read for all bourbon aficionados.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBarrel Strength Bourbon\u003c\/i\u003e provides an in-depth examination of the bourbon industry in Kentucky, the creation of an American spirit, its resurrection following Prohibition, its astronomical growth in the past decade, and its potential for the future.\u003cbr\u003eReaders will meet the colorful family of characters who craft bourbon by hand, visit the picturesque distilleries along rural backroads and urban centers, and learn the secrets of an American original. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author, \u003cb\u003eCarla Harris Carlton\u003c\/b\u003e, gives readers: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn up-close look at how bourbon is made\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA history on how the industry was built\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInformation on how the close-knit families of bourbon crafters continue to grow a multibillion-dollar global industry while staying true to their Kentucky roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders will learn how to nose, taste, and appreciate a spirit that, while created from time-tested recipes, is evolving so quickly that new varieties and brands appear weekly on liquor store shelves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author, a leading bourbon journalist who routinely helps select barrels for special edition bottlings and tastes new products before most bartenders do, takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of distilleries and rickhouses, shares anecdotes from her chats with bourbon legends, and provides insight on what to expect next from one of the fastest growing spirits on Earth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlso available are two companion ebooks: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpirited Perfection: Building Your Bourbon Bar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (ASIN: B07333YXMM)\u003cbr\u003eIn the past 10 years, choosing a bourbon has gone from underwhelming to overwhelming and author Carla Carlton is here to help you navigate this boom.
