00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.320
Hello, I am Jeff, and welcome to history and factoids
2
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:27.120
about today. This is June the fourteenth.
3
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:34.600
I will be drinking bourbon whiskey.
4
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.719
All night long with my friends used to keep me company.
5
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.679
Today is National Bourbon Day. Now we aren't talking just whiskey, Nope,
6
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.200
we're talking bourbon now. When Scottish settlers they started making
7
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.880
whiskey in Kentucky in the mid seventeen hundreds, the only
8
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.520
great available it was corn. Yeah, while they grew in
9
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.880
that area, kind of new to them. But that limestone
10
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.599
water in that area it was high in calcium, low
11
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.000
and iron. So it made some good taste and whiskey.
12
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.879
But they were storing the whiskey and fish barrels. Now
13
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:13.239
that kind of ruined the taste. Then seventeen eighty Elijah
14
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.200
craig Hey, he started charring the whiskey barrels that game
15
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.359
with the whiskey a totally different taste. Then he stamped
16
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.000
bourbon on the barrels that showed what county it came from,
17
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.400
sent it down to the Mississippi New Orleans. Took three months
18
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.359
to get there. So that age that whiskey made it
19
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.879
taste even better. It was a huge hit down on
20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.840
New Orleans. They love that whiskey. He had bourbon stamped on.
21
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.319
That's not guy's name is bourbon now bourbon. It can
22
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.319
mate anywhere. It doesn't that he made in Kentucky. But
23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:39.519
there are specifications that you have to do to make
24
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:40.159
true bourbon.
25
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:41.040
Now.
26
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:42.959
It has to be at least fifty one percent corn.
27
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.799
It can't be any less than eighty proof, and it
28
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.200
must be aged in new chart oak barrels. And you
29
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.560
can't have any additives like for color or flavor of
30
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:54.079
that kind of stuff. Jack Daniels, not bourbon, Jim Bean. Yeah,
31
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:54.640
it's bourbon.
32
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:55.359
Now.
33
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.439

38
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.479

39
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:32.159
Than that, all right?
40
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.680

41
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.879
was a guy named Francis Hopkins. He was a founding father,
42
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.360

if you listen to our shirt forty five days ago,
70
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:39.959
it was on April twenty eighth. Well I talked about
71
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.279
the seventeen eighty nine Fletcher Christian, how he had led
72
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.480
