Bourbon & Books
Written By New Dawn Distilling

This month on Bourbon and Books with New Dawn Distilling…

I am the American heartbreak -

The rock on which Freedom

Stumped its toe -

The great mistake

That Jamestown made

Long ago.

-Langston Hughes, American Heartbreak: 1619

As you know I've been exploring the Adirondacks and something about being outdoors makes me want to connect even more with my ancestors and history. Plus its back to school season so This month on Bourbon and Books, where we share what we're reading and drinking because we're fancy, We recommend: The 1619 Project

Paired with New Dawn, neat, just the way we like our history - undiluted so we can appreciate all the complexity.

Despite all the hype, this is an eye-opening but above all thoughtful and engaging presentation of American history. Expect many, "What if...?" moments filled with hope and possibilities for the future.
