About this book
A clever distillation of Americas favorite libation by the New York Times best-selling authors of The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert Whiskey fever is sweeping the nation. Every day craft distilleries are popping up in remote counties and urban centers offering a wealth of great choices to consumersand just as many puzzlements. Does the introduction of a simple e to go from whisky to whiskey mean anything? Whats the difference between Scotch and Rye? Whats Canadian whisky anyway? And what about the whiskeys of Scotland Japan and Ireland? Wheres a humble Joe to start? In this witty kid-style book on an adult topic Richard Betts boils down his know-how into twenty pages cooling our brown-sweat anxieties and dividing whiskey into three simple categories: Grain Wood and Place. While most whiskey tomes are about as fun as a chemistry lesson Betts makes the learning slide down easy reassuring us that this exalted spirit is just distilled beer and through a nasal romp helping us figure out which kinds we love best. Humorous illustrations and scratch-and-sniff scents (vanilla sandalwood grass and more) help would-be connoisseurs learn their personal preferences. Language label and Map to Your Desires included.
