Abstract

"For more than two centuries, Kentucky distillers have produced alcohol, maintaining their revered traditional distilling techniques. They follow proven recipes and brand their whiskies as "Old," as in Old Times and Old Log Cabin, or allude to historical places and personages such as Rolling Fork and Evan Williams. While many consumer goods manufacturers market their products as "new and improved," modern bourbon sales campaigns continue to emphasize a tradition and heritage that hearkens back to the original frontier craft. In Making Bourbon, Karl Raitz examines Kentucky's bourbon history through the synthesis of three perspectives: making, historical ecology, and landscape. All industrial regions are comprised of intricately layered and interrelated elements but, Raitz argues, Kentucky's nineteenth-century distilling landscape was especially complex. Raitz not only considers the geographical history of the nineteenth century when distilling transformed from artisanal craft to large-scale industry, but also how bourbon makers created the signature distilling landscape that remains at the core of the contemporary industry's identity. The cultural, historical, and geographic history of the region converge to create bourbon's unique story and birthplace. Rural distilleries stood beside springs or creeks and processed grain from surrounding farms. Urban distilleries drew water from rivers or wells and patronized rail lines, which delivered their grain and shipped their product. Skilled coopers and coppersmiths found work supplying barrels and still equipment. The farms and mills, the lumber yards and cooperage shops, and the turnpikes, railroads, and steamboats, contributed elements to this distilling landscape. Today, we are left with land that carries on the imprint of these traditions, and bourbon makers who benefit from a heritage so intricately linked to the hills of Kentucky"--

Abstract

Distilled Spirits is the “go-to” guide for identifying the best practices and options available for distilled spirits product development. The book is a valuable reference for current and prospective distillers, including researchers in distilling and chemical engineering and students brewing and distilling programs. With an increase in the number of new start distilleries, the need for guidance on distilled spirits production has risen dramatically. This book examines the impact of raw materials and production processes on spirit quality, flavor and aroma compounds, and as indicators of poor quality. The book covers the entire production process, derivation of flavor and aroma compounds, definition of spirit quality, and identification of defects for Scotch whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin.

Abstract

This two-volume set examines the strong connection between craft beverages and tourism, presenting cutting-edge research in partnership with breweries, distilleries, and cideries. While wine, food, and culinary tourism have traditionally dominated destination markets, interest in craft beverages has gained momentum across the US and overseas with local markets quickly recognizing the growing craft beverage movement. Through the eyes of tourism scholars, brewers, and travelers, these two volumes explore the landscape of craft beer opportunities in non-traditional settings, and recognize the potential for future economic, socio-cultural, and environmental sustainability. Craft Beverages and Tourism, Volume 1: The Rise of Breweries and Distilleries in the United States is an inclusive and overarching examination of the US craft beverage phenomenon within a larger context of international beverage tourism. It outlines the current practice and research scope of craft beer, cider, and spirits as well as the sustainable development of destinations revolving around craft beverage. Through literature reviews, case studies, and general exploration, this volume advances marketing, hospitality, and leisure studies research for academics, industry experts, and emerging entrepreneurs. .

Abstract

How educated and culturally savvy young people are transforming traditionally low-status manual labor jobs into elite taste-making occupationsIn today's new economy-in which "good" jobs are typically knowledge or technology based-many well-educated and culturally savvy young men are instead choosing to pursue traditionally low-status manual labor occupations as careers. Masters of Craft looks at the renaissance of four such trades: bartending, distilling, barbering, and butchering.In this in-depth and engaging book, Richard Ocejo takes you into the lives and workplaces of these people to examine how they are transforming these once-undesirable jobs into "cool" and highly specialized upscale occupational niches-and in the process complicating our notions about upward and downward mobility through work. He shows how they find meaning in these jobs by enacting a set of "cultural repertoires," which include technical skills based on a renewed sense of craft and craftsmanship and an ability to understand and communicate that knowledge to others, resulting in a new form of elite taste-making. Ocejo describes the paths people take to these jobs, how they learn their chosen trades, how they imbue their work practices with craftsmanship, and how they teach a sense of taste to their consumers.Focusing on cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men's barbers, and whole-animal butcher shop workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Masters of Craft provides new insights into the stratification of taste, gentrification, and the evolving labor market in today's postindustrial city.
