The first, Jailers™ Premium Tennessee Whiskey, pays homage to the forefathers of Tennessee whiskey and is a premium, aged whiskey with a smooth, balanced flavor and global appeal. Jailers’ moderate spicy sweetness and big mouth feel give a long, pleasant and warm finish. The rebellious flavor of Breakout™ Premium 8-Year-Old American Rye Whiskey gives rye drinkers a bold way to shake up their normal routine. Breakout provides a smooth introduction to those new to the world of rye whiskey with its rich caramel, vanilla aroma and full-bodied toffee overtone. Forbidden Secret™ American Cream has a velvety decadence and is the guilty pleasure the Irish don’t want you to know about. The blend of pure American dairy cream, dark chocolate, robust espresso and Jailers™ Premium Tennessee Whiskey come together to create its distinctively tantalizing flavor.

I know when we start research projects in the spring, this book will come in handy. When I sat down to begin looking through this book, I was pulled in by all the information that by the time I looked at the clock, a few hours had gone by. Even I learned some new information. I had no idea that President Ford's real name- Leslie King. I now know I want to take some road trips in the near future to see some of these historic places. I love that there are a few pages in the back of the book for you to mark the date visited and any notes taken while visiting.
