It was both his thirtieth wedding anniversary and his birthday. But there was another thing to celebrate: the dedication of the new Bulleit Distillery in Shelbyville, Kentucky. His great-great-grandfather, Augustus, created his first batch of Bulleit Bourbon around 1830. A century and a half later, Tom fulfilled his lifelong dream, revived the old family bourbon recipe, and started Bulleit Distilling Company. Eventually, Tom was named a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels, and elected to the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. Thinking back on all his achievements, Tom was overcome by a wave of emotion. He looked into the sea of faces and said, \"I don't believe our lives are told in years. . . or months. . . or weeks. I believe we live our lives in moments.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTom's book\u003ci\u003e Bulleit Proof \u003c\/i\u003eis just that--a life told in moments.

In 2009, he was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame--a testament to his lasting legacy, not only in the liquor world, but in the annals of American business. A titan of industry, Bulleit has the battle scars to show that his wisdom has been hard earned. In \u003ci\u003eBulleit Proof\u003c\/i\u003e, he reveals not just the facts of his business success, but the people, stories, insights, and worldview that have carried him to great heights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eActive and aspiring leaders--whether in business or any other venture--will find inspiration in Tom Bulleit's story. After serving his country with the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, Bulleit earned his law degree and, in 1987, launched what would become one of the world's best whiskeys. But his road was an uneasy one, marked with great loss and adversity--including his father's disapproval of his plan to bring a 150-year-old family bourbon recipe to market. Bulleit brings this history to life in \u003ci\u003eBulleit Proof\u003c\/i\u003e in his characteristically sparse and striking prose. A true American storyteller, Bulleit evokes both awe and laughter as he recounts his interesting youth, his ambitious plan, and his battle to survive as a new entrant into an industry of good old boys. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the age of business disruption, tales like Bulleit's are as essential as they are rare. Disrupting the whiskey industry was, in 1987, a foolhardy business plan. Without his dedication to his brand and his fundamental belief in the quality of his product, he might well have failed. A certain amount of old-fashioned gumption was also an essential part of the Bulleit Bourbon recipe. Anyone with a dream, big or small, will enjoy Bulleit's colorful way of showing that survival in war, business, and life are all built on a foundation of commitment and persistence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interwoven stories in \u003ci\u003eBulleit Proof\u003c\/i\u003e run through the full range of life's wonders: joy, triumph, love, loss, discovery, faith, fortitude, and--finally--success. \u003ci\u003eBulleit Proof\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for anyone looking for the courage to take on life's great challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA TRUE AMERICAN PIONEER REVEALS HOW HE SINGLE-HANDEDLY TOOK ON THE LIQUOR INDUSTRY\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmong bourbon aficionados around the world, Bulleit Bourbon is a household name.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story behind the brand, and the man behind the name, are both subject and author of \u003ci\u003eBulleit Proof\u003c\/i\u003e--an engaging and inspiring tapestry of tales from one of the liquor industry's most notorious disruptors.
