Mary Dowling – The Mother Of Bourbon
Louisville, Kentucky-based distillery Mary Dowling Whiskey Company is named after the pioneering female who was the first woman to run a major distillery and this week, the distillery is promoting a new book – “Mother of Bourbon: The Greatest Whiskey Story Never Told” – a historical fiction novel based on the life of Mary Dowling, along with book tour to accompany the release.
In the early 1900s, Dowling ran a major distillery in Kentucky, survived a major distillery fire, founded a bank, and lived on to battle law enforcement during prohibition before finally relocating her distillery to Juárez, Mexico to escape government oversight.
Mary Dowling Whiskey Company is launching a “Mother of Bourbon” book tour, beginning on April 9, 2025, in Louisville, Kentucky, and continuing on to six more cities across the USA.
Additionally, attendees of the tour will be offered the opportunity to participate in guided tastings of three Mary Dowling Whiskey Company products — Winter Wheat, Tequila Barrel and Double Oak — paired with excerpts from the book.
Tickets and more information on the book tour are available at www.marydowling.com/booktour. “Mother of Bourbon” is available for preorder now at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
