 More than whiskey... Americana! September 16, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Much like an inspiring Ansel Adams photo or a heart-warming Norman Rockwell illustration, Pacult instills (pun intended) the human side of the story in this fascinating view of Americana. I drink bourbon only on rare occasion, say after a wonderful dinner. But I love history... because good history is life! The first part of this title tells it all: "American Still Life."This ain't just about makin' whiskey. Indeed, Pacult well knows what goes on inside those aging barrels, and he doesn't let the wine and spirits connoisseur down with the technical side, and artistic side, of making great bourbon. For me, this book is more about Jim Beam, the legend! Pacult does a wonderful job in bringing history - and the present day human condition - to life!
A wonderful read! August 29, 2003

Paul Pacult does a stellar job in telling the story of this 200-year-old family business that has persevered and adapted with the times. This book is much more than a story about liquor, it is a story of America's dynastic first family of bourbon whiskey.
A must-read!!
