The American Whiskey Trail with George, Jack, Jim and Mark

WASHINGTON, August 21, 2011— The American Whiskey Trai l, which winds from Washington, D.C. to Nashville, through the dense green hills of Tennessee to the horse lands of Indiana, tells a tale of American history and culture.

From the early days, when clear moonshine was sweated from a mix of corn and rye and yeast, then distilled in the heat of the backyard still, to the creation of the amber-brown liquid of today, there are hundreds of years of history and artisanal skill. This history and the centuries of accumulated craftsmanship go into every ounce of whiskey that is bottled today.

Exploring the trail calls first for a stop to visit the copper craftsmen at Vendome Copper & Brass Works, Inc . of Louisville, Kentucky. This family-owned business creates the beautiful copper stills used by distillers worldwide. Next visit the cooperage where Jack Daniels barrels are still mostly made by hand.  

The modern story of whiskey begins with George Washington, who began commercial distilling in 1797, following his years as President.

Washington built his distillery at the urging of Scottish farm manager and son of a Scotch Whiskey distiller, James Anderson, who encouraged Washington to go into the business as a compliment to his farming and grist mill. A quick demand for Washington’s whisky led the distillery to become one of Mt. Vernon’s most commercially lucrative efforts.

The recently rebuilt distillery at Mt. Vernon, built on the foundation of the original building, is a step back to early American history.

Today’s amber-brown brew owes its color to an Ohio river merchant of the 1800s, who discovered that a barrel charred to remove the flavor of fish or pickles turned clear moonshine into an amber liquor. Since well before the prohibition years of the 1900s to the boutique distillers of today, each brand is distinctive and has its own stamp of color, nose and taste.

Bread Machine Cookbooks: Favorite Kitchen Appliance Recipes, by ...

Revolutionary Kitchen Appliance

For bakers and non-bakers alike, the bread machine was a revolutionary invention. Those who knew how to bake could appreciate this appliance for its time-saving features, and those who didn’t could finally understand what it felt like to bake homemade bread. Once equipped with a bread machine, what the home cook needs is a reliable cookbook.

The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook includes every recipe you could possibly need for baking bread at home. In addition to the over 300 recipes included, this cookbook will help you bake with the confidence of a master baker. Beth Hensperger has written more than 10 books on baking bread, and her initial skepticism recedes to appreciation for this friendly home cook's appliance.

Holiday and Gourmet Breads

White, whole grain, savory loaves, dough only, sweet breads, quick breads, jams & spreads, appetizers & croutons are all covered. If you're looking for a holiday bread, you'll find a gourmet version here. Also included are measurement equivalents, ingredient explanations and machine instructions to help you bake with confidence. While this book thoroughly covers all aspects of bread baking and includes 300 recipes, there are limited instructions for adapting traditional recipes for the bread machine. With this volume of recipes, however, there may be no need for home adaptations.

Gluten is a type of protein commonly found in certain grains. It can be purchased in the flour section of the grocer. Yeast can be found in the baking aisle in either individual packets, which are convenient for the occasional baker, or in the refrigerated section in jars, which is a good option for regular bread makers. Once you fall in love with the bread machine, you may use more yeast than expected.
