  • Summary

  • There was once a Tennessee whiskey that dwarfed Jack Daniel's, and a powerful man was behind it: V.E. "Manny" Shwab. Until now, virtually nothing has been written about either.

    This shared episode of Big Blend Radio's EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY Show features Clay Shwab, who discusses his biography about his great-grandfather, "Manny Shwab and the George Dickel Company." This riveting read shares the untold story of a Tennessee whiskey tycoon who influenced society in Nashville’s gilded age.

    Their story is one of a Jewish Alsatian immigrant's dream of finding community and prosperity in the New World and his son who rose to dominate Tennessee politics, whiskey, and finance for decades; of smuggling during the Civil War; of the raging, sometimes fatal, battle against Prohibition; and of the wild side of rapidly growing Nashville during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
