The outrageously inspiring story of the most successful and influential woman distiller of Kentucky Bourbon that nobody's heard...until now! Introducing Mary Dowling, Mother of Bourbon.
"Unsung bourbon distiller-and force of nature-Mary Dowling overcame family tragedy, discrimination, and Prohibition, to achieve extraordinary success. Her story comes to life in this page-turning novel." -Susan Reigler, author of Kentucky Bourbon: The Essential Guide to the American Spirit
Born in 1859 to Irish immigrants who'd escaped the great potato famine, Mary Dowling arrived at the height of anti-Irish and anti-Catholic fervor in America. The hardscrabble life her family led provided the foundation of grit and determination that would serve her well, along with a natural gift for numbers and planning. She married the enterprising John Dowling when she was just fifteen and he was thirty-three. Despite their age gap, John was a kind and adoring husband who recognized Mary's remarkable skills and made her his partner not just in life but in business. He offered her oversight of their burgeoning bourbon company's financial books and sought her insight and advice on acquisition and expansion as they steadily grew from distillery investors to sole proprietors of Waterfill and Frazier in Tyrone, Kentucky, just outside Lawrenceburg, in the heart of Bourbon Country.
