J. B. Kirk: Farmer, Merchant, Distiller

He loved his town. He loved his whiskey. And he didn't always play by the rules. J. B. Kirk lived through some of the most turbulent chapters in American history - spanning the Civil War, World War I, and the ever-changing tides of alcohol regulation in the national, state and local levels. Though he often tried to stay within the law, the line between legal and illegal blurred more than once in his pursuit of one passion: making whiskey. From quiet days in Woodbury to brushes with the law, this compelling story follows a man who straddled the line between upstanding citizen to outlaw. Walk with J. B. through his triumphs and trials as he worked to build a better life - and a better bottle - in a world where the rules were always changing.
