American History...With the Whiskey Stuff Included!

There are lots of things about American history that never make
into the history textbooks. For instance, the Mayflower left for
America with three times as much beer on board as drinking water,
and while George Washington may have been the first U.S.
President to become a whiskey distiller, at least two of his
successors also owned whiskey distilleries. Harris Cooper digs
into some of the things the textbook writers left out in his new
book "American History Through a Whiskey Glass," and he'll join
us on this week's podcast. In the news, the Scotch Whisky
Association is looking for a new leader as chief executive Karen
Betts prepares to move on, while British officials may be ready
to act on the American whiskey tariff soon. We'll have those
stories and much more, and on Behind the Label, we'll explain
what the story behind WhistlePig Rye's newest release has in
common with a Margarita.
