The Bourbon Badass Training Manual is a tasting journal created to
guide people on their journey towards becoming a "Bourbon Badass"
in an easy, approachable format. Far too often tasting journals can
be overly complicated and intimidating. This journal focuses on
relatable, real world factors making it approachable for everyone.
It is intended for everyone from the novice to the connoisseur.
With room for 30 tastings, the notes allow the reader to record
what they liked or didn't like as they develop their very own
unique taste profile. Not only will the reader have a record of
their experiences, but they will also be able to speak to others
with confidence. The goal is not to overwhelm anyone with too much
technical information, but instead, allow them to decide for
themselves what path they want to take on their path to becoming a
Bourbon Badass.
Just the Tonic is an accessible yet informative history of tonic
water: its connections to the major disease malaria, the cure
discovered in the bitter bark of the cinchona tree and its
constituent alkaloid quinine. It is a history deeply intertwined
with botanical exploration and empire in the Victorian era, and the
role of botanical gardens such as Kew.

The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is
Kentucky's illustrious gift to the world of spirits. Although the
story of American whiskey is recorded in countless lively pages of
our nation's history, the place of bourbon in the American cultural
record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. Not a
recipe book or a barman's guide, but a fascinating and informative
contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects
an aspect of our national cultural identity that many have long
suppressed or overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the
liquor's presence during America's early development, as well as
bourbon's role in some of the more dramatic events in American
history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the
Whiskey Ring, and the "whiskey forts" of the fur trade. The Social
History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic
beverage in the development of American manners and culture.

Kate Hopkins knew there had to be more to whiskey than using it as
a mixer. She had an unquenchable thirst to learn more about "the
drink" and set out on an ambitious itinerary researching its
history. Combining comprehensive research with informal narrative,
Hopkins entertains and educates the readers on whiskey's place in
the history of the world. She visited historians and pub owners,
went to distilleries owned by corporations who sell thousands of
gallons per day, and artisans who sell thousands of gallons per
year, and interviewed the aficionados and the common drinkers,
because one of the best aspects of whiskey is not just its taste,
but the stories about the drink that are told around the bar. As an
added bonus, she discusses the fine art of distilling, the proper
ways to drink whiskey, and provides tasting notes on different
brands, all in the hope of discovering the best shot of the liquor.
First published in 1862, this seminal work in bartending marks the
first time many of today's classics were recorded in print.
Collected here by Jerry Thomas--America's most famous
bartender--are dozens of cocktail recipes, from old standards to
mixes invented by Thomas himself, including his trademark drink,
The Blue Blazer. Guides for mixing drinks of all
categories--including sours, fizzes, and highballs--are included
along with instructions on using various bartending tools, from
jiggers to ponies and beyond. With a glossary to help all bon
vivants remember their demijohns from their drachms, this is a
nostalgic and delicious homage to a drinking era that is gone but
not forgotten.
From their restaurant in Speyside the authors have created a range
of recipes, each using Scotch whisky to compliment or contrast the
food.
Bourbon whiskey is perhaps Kentucky's most distinctive product.
Despite bourbon's prominence in the social and economic life of the
Bluegrass state, many myths and legends surround its origins. In
Kentucky Bourbon, Henry C. Crowgey claims that distilled spirits
and pioneer settlement went hand in hand; Isaac Shelby, the state's
first governor, was among Kentucky's pioneer distillers. Crowgey
traces the drink's history from its beginnings as a cottage
industry to steam-based commercial operations in the period just
before the Civil War. From "spirited" camp meetings, to bourbon's
use as a medium of exchange for goods and services, to the
industry's coming of age in the mid-nineteenth century, the story
of Kentucky bourbon is a fascinating chapter in the state's early
history.
