To Your Health!

Alcohol has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, even
when the healers of history didn't always know they were
distilling alcohol when they made their potions. Some of those
potions even sound a lot like today's cocktails, and drinks
writer Camper English has been studying the links between alcohol
and medicine for his new book Doctors and Distillers. We'll
explore some of that history with him this week on WhiskyCast
In-Depth. In the news, the American Craft Spirits Association has
handed out its annual awards, and we'll have the details. We'll
also get a preview of this September's Kentucky Bourbon Festival,
and on Behind the Label, we'll answer the question "What's in a
(distillery) name?"
