Product Description
"Barrel proof and unfiltered! As usual Pacult has delved deep, and revealed many hitherto unknown facts about the Beams. Best of all, though, this is a fascinating, page-turning look into America's royal family of whiskey." --Gary and Mardee Haidin Regan
authors of The Book of Bourbon
Publishers of ardentspirits.com "With his 'Old Jake Beam Sour Mash,' Jacob Beam launched a whiskey dynasty. It's a superb story, and no one spins a great story better than F. Paul Pacult, America's most respected authority on distilled spirits."
--Robert Whitley
Wine & Spirits Columnist
Copley News Service "This is a stellar piece of documented history written in a most accessible style. With legions of disciples, F. Paul Pacult is a legend in the making."
--Robert Plotkin
Spirits Author
BarMedia "Highly regarded as America's preeminent authority on spirits, Paul Pacult relates a fascinating story of authentic pioneer and entrepreneurial endeavor, intertwined in a family saga spanning generations, all in the background of creating one of the most enduring and recognizable global brands, Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey. Pacult portrays figures larger than life up against the major events of our country's history, with a cast of characters and style that reads like a novel."
--David Talbot
Associate Publisher
Wine Enthusiast Magazine "An epic American story told with passion and insight."

 | Great Book on Bourbon and Beam's Influence on It Nov 1, 2007 |
| This is a great reference book on both early origins on distilling in America and the Beam family - who comprise a large branch of the founding families of Bourbon distilling and still have many members working at various distilleries throughout Kentucky. A entertaining read and great reference for anyone who is interested in bourbon. | | | | Fascinating history, wonderfully written Mar 17, 2004 |
| This book captures a truly unique American product, and a family that was integral to the creation of the industry. As I write this review, Booker Noe's death was just recently announced. The personalities of the larger than life characters like Booker are wonderfully captured within the narrative. Even if you're not a fan of bourbon (philistine!), you'll come away with a great appreciation for the definitive American spirit (both the drink and the people). | | | | An American product by an American Family Nov 19, 2003 |
| What a great book! I loved it and couldn't put it down. I feel like I was right there with Pacult as he traveled around with Booker Noe. I am not a bourbon drinker, but this book made me wish I had a little bit to sip as I was reading it. Alas I finished reading the book before I could purchase some bourbon. | | | | Whether It's History or Business You're After, Great Read Sep 29, 2003 |
| This book kept me enthralled for an entire weekend. A great look at a family that created an entire industry with a distinctly American product, Bourbon. As the story of a facinating family, the author gently takes you through the many generations of the Beams without getting you lost in a morass of detail. You remain excited waiting for the next turn in their fortunes, and you get a wonderful look at the many personalities involved in building the Bourbon industry over time in the process. When I think about the book from a business standpoint, Paul Pacult succeeded in conveying the patience and the passion these people have for their product, and how they manage to maintain that passion, literally over generations. In a world of managing quarter to quarter, the Beams are a refreshing change. A very-well written, facinating look at a piece of Americana. I heartily recommend it. | | | | Reads like a novel Sep 22, 2003 |
| I read American Still Life this Summer. It reads like a Michener novel. I prefer reading non-fiction but most non-fiction is boring and tedious. So I was pleased when I had a chance to read this book. It's a strong testament to our American founders and to the Beams, American icons, who 'took the pain' out of the daily struggles.
