Dull narrator, very little detail about Buffalo Trace bourbon or its history

The narrator was very dull and hard to listen to. The story gives some good historical detail about the “Buffalo Trace” and other history about bourbon. I was hoping for a deep dive into to the BT Bourbon story along with more highlights of the Pappy history. This book was disappointing, in my humble opinion.

A fascinating story

I was surprised that this was a history of both a place, a business, and most of all the rise of an industry! Great stuff for a bourbon nerd but also a good example of marketing, business planning, leadership and enterprise. Highly readable and recommended.

Nice history of bourbon production in Kentucky

Spans a lot of information and covers a long period of time, much more than the relatively short lifespan of Buffalo Trace Distillery and Sazerac. It was entertaining to learn about the men whose names adorn the most popular whiskies today.

History

Loved da bourbon book! Now I want more Buffalo Trace!!!! Good narration and easy listening!

Interesting history

I now know what a buffalo trace is and why this distillery was named after the feature. Very interesting and engaging history of the area, the spirit and the distillery itself

Informative

Lots of great history leading up to and during Buffalo Trace distillery. Informative and opinionated as well.

Very dull book

I don’t know why one has to pay for this book, it could have been a blog post that one can skim through. There is some fluff about Kentucky history and civil war to fill the pages but has hardly any history about the distillery itself or such. I feel the author did scant research and had to put something out, so he did. Miserable read! I also with others would stop giving 5stars to every book, really misleads other listeners

Just regurgitated information

I had a hard time staying with this book. I’ve read multiple books on bourbon and it’s history and found this to be repetitive of the facts found in much better written pieces. Given the fact that the author did numerous interviews it would have been refreshing to hear in depth stories from the interviewees. I give this a 2 star rating for its lack of originality and fact that political bents were slipped in to a book having nothing to do with present politics.
