As fascinating as the craft itself are the distillers' experiences and backstories. Purvis chronicles them with verve and insight, bringing her knowledge of southern foodways and traditions to bear on the flourishing of the distiller's art. She shows how new entrepreneurs, part of the all-American food and drink renaissance, are positioning themselves to find both the inspiration and land ranging from West Virginia to Louisiana for their farm- or farm-ingredients-based distilleries. They are creating new and sought-after bourbons, whiskies, rums, gins, and much more. Their cordials are flavored with pumpkins, raspberries, peaches, and other local products; not long ago, a West Virginian's black walnut liqueur won the prize for the best nut cordial at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDriven by legacy and passion, today's distillers are creating a new southern tradition -- one that you can now explore with an inimitable writer. Each Liquor Trail covers one or several states and features particularly worthy distilleries that Purvis has personally selected. The trails also feature maps, a complete listing of distilleries in each territory, on-site photographs, and some dynamite drink recipes direct from the distillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Purvis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.83h x 7.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469640617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen Purvis is an award-winning food writer, food editor for the \u003ci\u003eCharlotte Observer\u003c\/i\u003e, and the author of two cookbooks, \u003ci\u003eBourbon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePecans\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45115627864179,"sku":"9781469640617","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5f71f208-cf00-4676-97b2-8338c870f267.jpg?v=1781787862","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/distilling-the-south-a-guide-to-southern-craft-liquors-and-the-people-who-make-them-9781469640617","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
