SPIRIT OF THE MONTH
The Samuels family has been making whiskey since 1840. Bill Samuels Jr., current operator of the Maker's Mark Distillery near the tiny Marion County town of Loretto, represents the family's fifth generation in the business. Come along for a tour of how bourbon is made and a short history of one of Kentucky's best-known products. They produce 18 barrels per day, which might be compared with 700 for some of the larger distilleries. They use wheat instead of rye, currently the ownly commerical distiller to make this substitution. The history of the Samuels family can be traced back to T.W Samuels, who began making bourbon back in 1844. The Samuels inital 'S' and the generation that first began producing at Star Hill (IV) compose the trademark for the company.
