Like jazz, baseball, and Humphrey Bogart, bourbon is an authentic all-American creation, a reflection of something inspired and fine in the nation's character that remains decidedly unpretentious. With its seductive way of inflaming senses and loosening inhibitions, it is also very rock 'n' roll. Bourbon scholars trace its origins to the early 19th century, but it may well date back to the years immediately following the American Revolution. The country was young, dumb, and full of cum, certain it could and would do anything: The bold, smoky firewater it produced in the rolling hills of Kentucky reflected the fire in its spirit. Many generations later, the spirit itself has undergone profound refinements and offers an astonishing array of flavor profiles -- as varied as its makers. On one end of the spectrum there's Tom Bulleit, a dapper former lawyer and marine who revived his great-great grandfather's recipe and put smooth, high-proof Bulleit back behind bars around the world. Then there's Fred Noe of Jim Beam, a trucker hat'sporting good ol' boy who oversees the production of some of the most elegant, small-batch bourbons out there -- such as Booker's and Basil Hayden's -- and demonstrates an understanding of the art and science of the distillation process that belies his redneck exterior. The lesson being: Don't judge a book by its cover. Which, of course, is very American.
