'The true pioneer of civilization is not the newspaper, not
religion, not the railroad but Whiskey!' - Mark Twain From illicit
distillation to worldwide export, whisky has a powerful and
multi-faceted history. Writers including Robert Burns, James Joyce
and Haruki Murakami have all mused on it, and there are strong
opinions on every aspect, even down to how the word itself should
be spelled. A staple of the classic cocktail, whisky is at the
heart of diverse cultures around the globe, both in the established
whisky traditions of Scotland and Ireland and in newer practices,
such as the first Swedish malt whisky distillery, Mackmyra, opened
in 1999. This book will take you to whisky landmarks all over the
world, including the record-breaking Karuizawa distillery in Japan
and Kavalan, the distillery that put Taiwanese whisky on the map.
Get to grips with the four key ingredients - grain, wood, yeast and
time - then learn how to taste whisky like a pro, from glassware to
cocktails, and become a part of the international whisky family.
