Big Shots - The Men Behind the Booze - The Real-Life Stories of Jack Daniel, Captain Morgan, Jim Beam and Many More

You may consider Jack Daniel an old friend, Jose Cuervo a long-respected adversary, and Captain Morgan a trusted companion on many a foggy yet unforgettable adventure. But, as with so many drinking buddies, you probably don't know a thing about who they really are. Now, A.J. Baime, articles editor for Playboy magazine, offers a crash course on the men behind our favorite labels, including: Jim Beam, Jack Daniel, Jose Cuervo, Johnnie Walker, Baileys, Smirnoff, Bacardi, Seagram, Captain Morgan, Dom Perignon, Beefeater, Hennessy. I picked this book up as a stocking stuffer for my dad... and I ended up reading the whole thing myself! Very funny, very informative and a perfect gift for those who like a bit history, humor and especially spirits... I mean who doesn't?? A reader from San Francisco
