![]() ![]() ![]() Eventually, bourbon (and, to a lesser extent, rye) whiskey’s history would go lockstep with this country’s history. And many of the great Irish whiskey and Scotch houses were already up and fully operational by the time some American (maybe named Jacob Spears) finally figured out that throwing corn distillate into charred oak barrels made for a tasty spirit. In fact, most of whiskey history has been about simple survival, starting from its earliest days in this country.Īmericans were still painting on cave walls when whiskey was first emerging in Europe in the early 1000s. ![]() Refilling scandals and bottle heists aside, the industry wasn’t always so flush with excitement. ![]() Halfway decent bourbons and ryes fly off of store shelves, while truly great ones entice folks to queue up as though Michael Jordan were coming out of retirement. Fanaticism over the so-called best of the best bottles-your Pappys, BTAC, and other “LEs"-has even led to stores holding lotteries so that both geeks and average Joes can have a shot at obtaining these "unicorn" bottles. More than just being well-stocked in bars across the country, whiskey has become a sensation that drives many modern men mad. ![]()

The first thing which struck me about this book is the writing style and the voice of the main character, Thomas McNulty. Although I will concede that there are many beautiful descriptions, the characters are all seriously lacking in any consistency and depth and the pacing is at times so painfully slow I did wonder how so little had happened in so many pages. What ‘Days Without End’ achieves in lyricism and escapism is totally overshadowed by the many flaws which loom over this book. This book was far from a masterpiece in my opinion, I’m questioning how my view can differ so much from writers I so seriously respect. I am very disappointed with the various reviews with decorate the front and back of this book especially from Kazuo Ishiguro who called this book ‘A true leftfield wonder … A violent, superbly lyrical western offering a sweeping vision of America in the making’. I wished this book had ended sooner, I strongly disliked it. ![]() ![]() ![]() in 1966 to “describe the aspirations and the agony of the voiceless masses of the Vietnamese people.” He met Dr. He traveled, wrote and spoke extensively, returning to the U.S. He immediately returned and helped lead one of the great nonviolent resistance movements of the century.
