WHISKEY SOUR - IN CELEBRATION OF LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

So, we all know that Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky – what some of us don’t know is that his father worked in a distillery and that in 1811 his family moved from Sinking Spring Farm to Knob Creek – Hmmm that sounds familiar! – I  always wondered where that name came from and why anyone thought it would make a good name for a bourbon.

Lincoln wrote “My earliest recollection however, is of the Knob Creek place.” He was saved from drowning in Knob Creek (the river that is!) by his schoolmate Austin Gollaher – perhaps we should name a drink the Gollaher to celebrate his birthday! 

In honor of Abraham Lincoln’s Kentucky distillery roots – lift a glass to celebrate his birthday this week.
