Go beyond the glass and discover the secrets behind your favorite
style of whiskey. Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been
one of the most influential voices in whiskey—a longtime editor
of Whisky Advocate and author of the definitive guide Tasting
Whiskey. In this book, Lew shares everything he's learned on his
journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese
whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys
as well!). In this book, you'll find it all: An overview of
the different types of whiskeys, including the rules
and identities of each. He also includes
information on craft whiskeys, which tend to be more creative
and freewheeling than the styles made by traditional producers.
Exploration of the key whiskey ingredients, with a close look at
the flavor contributions of malt, peat, corn, rye, wheat—even
water matters. Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of
barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the
glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills,
barrel char, and of course, time. Numerous interviews with
master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of
their field. Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the
whiskeys you might want to try next. Every chapter contains a
variety of unique, often behind-the-scenes photography. And with
whiskey as the subject, this is a class where you'll want to do the
homework!
