Inspired by the Native Americans they encountered, the adventurers called the untamed wilderness, <i>Kentucke</i>. In the 1770s this bucolic territory would be surveyed and settled by, among others, brothers Hancock and Willis Lee. The Lees established a primitive log homestead, close to nearby cold springs, on a well-situated bank of the Kentucky River. In 1786 Leestown was founded.</p> <p>A later inhabitant and site owner, Daniel Swigert, erected the first distillery on the property in 1857. Future distillers of the location, most notably Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr., George T. Stagg, Colonel Albert B. Blanton, Orville Schupp, Gary Gayheart, Elmer T. Lee, and Harlen Wheatley, would build on the vision of the Lee brothers and Daniel Swigert by developing many of the most coveted bourbon and rye whiskey recipes in the history of Kentucky.</p> <p>In <i>Buffalo, Barrels, & Bourbon, </i> best-selling author and spirits expert F. Paul Pacult delivers a comprehensive and entertaining chronicle, not only of Buffalo Trace Distillery's specific plot of riverside land but also of the distillery's remarkable whiskey-making legacy.
