There's a lot of history and 'lore' behind bourbon so discuss both here.

The Filson has added a blog to the website and asked me to start contributing some bourbon history. I have done the first post and here is the link: http://blog.filsonhistorical.org/?p=295#more-295

Well done, Mike.

Is it known when the Old Tayler brand itself first appeared, and from which distillery?

Old taylor was the brand created in the 1880's after Taylor formed E H Taylor, Jr. and Sons.

I thought it was very good. I book marked it so I can read future blogs.

Last Monday was the final class in the Filson Bourbon Academy and I posted the last blog about the class on the website. It was a good experience and I have already been asked to do it again in the spring. I have also been asked to do it in November in Lexington at the Hyatt and in Bardstown after the beginning of the year.
