In Part Three: Revival, you hear how tough it was to bring Tennessee whiskey back. You'll follow runners down Thunder Road and see Tennessee whiskey overtake Bourbon in the 70s. You'll hear the false starts of several doomed distilleries and feel the struggles of distillers trying to bring the modern industry back.
