Kentucky Bourbon Tales: Distilling the Family Business

Kentucky Education Television (KET) in partnership with the Kentucky Distillers' Association (KDA) have released a one hour documentary titled Kentucky Bourbon Tales: Distilling the Family Business.  The documentary is streamed here and is quite informative.  It captures an oral history of several of the leading families in the Kentucky bourbon industry as well as documenting the entire whiskey process. These families include the Beams at  The Jim Beam® Distillery and Heaven Hill Distilleries; the Russells at Wild Turkey; the Samuels at Maker's Mark Distillery; the players behind the Brown-Forman Early Times Distillery; Master Distiller Jim Rutledge at Four Roses Distillery; and Master Distiller William Pratt at Michter’s Distillery, LLC.
You will also need to read this critique by Chuck Cowdery on a few major missing players: Buffalo Trace, Sazerac and their Barton Distilling Company, Pappy Van Winkle, &  Elmer T. Lee. Regardless, the documentary is highly recommended for those interested in all things bourbon.
