    Description: The Filson Historical Society is proud to
    present Filson Fridays. Meet our staff as they share the results of
    their research in The Filson Collections. Enjoy this summer programming
    every Friday at noon. On July 30, Associate Curator of Special
    Collections Michael Veach will look at early Kentucky distilling methods
    and products and how the modern distiller can learn from Kentucky’s
    distilling heritage.
    There is a growing interest in “Craft” or “Artisan” distilleries in
    America. These small distilleries can benefit a great deal from the
    problem-solving of 19th century Kentucky farmer distillers. These early
    distillers faced many of the same issues that modern craft distillers
    face. One of the most pressing problems was what to do with their newly
    made spirit that would allow the distillers to get it to the market
    quickly. Cherry Bounce, Blackberry Cordial and charcoal filtering are
    just some of the ways the early Kentucky distillers improved their
    product for sale to consumers.
    This lecture will begin at noon at The Filson Historical Society. There
    is no cost for this event, though reservations are suggested.
