Whiskey Lore: Volume One | Drew Hannush

Whiskey has always been surrounded by myths, legends, and tall tales. Some are rooted in truth, while others have been passed down and distorted over generations. In Whiskey Lore: Volume One, author and whiskey historian Drew Hannush takes readers on a journey through 24 of the most famous myths in the world of Bourbon, Scotch, and Irish whiskey.

Have you ever wondered if Prohibition was really the main driver of speakeasy culture? Or whether the difference between “whisky” and “whiskey” is nothing more than clever marketing? This book investigates such questions and separates fact from fiction.

Hannush dives into the origins of whiskey terminology, forgotten distilleries, the role of women in whiskey history, Prohibition-era secrets, and much more. Each chapter addresses stories you may have heard — but not always in the correct detail. With meticulous research from archives, historical documents, and interviews, Hannush brings new clarity to whiskey’s past.

More than just a history lesson, Whiskey Lore Volume One is an engaging narrative filled with storytelling and insight. It offers whiskey lovers a deeper appreciation of their favorite spirit, showing how myths shape our understanding of whiskey culture today.
