"But Always Fine Bourbon" is the story of the Stitzel Weller Distillery, which, for a large part of the 20th century was known for making the finest bourbon in the world.

Its the story of the American Dream: the creation of a family company, so common a part of this countrys history, but now disappearing in our age of mergers and acquisitions. Its a story anyone with an interest in bourbon, or Kentucky, or the history of this country will relish. The book is filled with large beautiful photographs.
