1911 Beverages de luxe

Much of the whisky made m Kentucky in its early history wm shipped by fiatboats clown the Ohio and Mississippi Eivers to New Orléans. The réputation of Kentucky Bourbon whisky lias grown vastly siuee the Civil War, until now "Old Kentucky Bonrbom'' is a synonymous term for "the best whisky." While Bourbon lias probably become a generie naine for whisky made for aging purposes where corn prépondérances in its manufac- ture, Kentucky can never become generie except for Avhisky made in that State, and Kentucky naturally revolts at having whisky made outside of its borders branded as made within its borders. The higii réputation of Kentucky Bourbon whisky aniong the finest beverages of the world is jealously regarded, and lias been well earned, for, as a beverage, either when taken straight or in any of the many delightful, exhilarating mixtures in which Bourbon forms the base, or, to mention more specifical- ly, an old-fashioned Kentucky toddy or mint julep, there is no finer drink known to mau, either brewed, fermented, or dis- tilled.
