Tasting Whiskey: An Insider's Guide to the Unique Pleasures of the World's Finest Spirits by Lew Bryson

5.0

This is a book I can unequivocally recommend if you are at all interested in whiskey. Although the book does cover tasting technique, it's really more of a broad AND deep education on whiskey - what it is, how distillation and aging work, the differences between bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, Scotch whisky, and Canadian whisky, flavor profiles, whiskey cocktails, how to acquire a taste for whiskey, and more. Bryson writes in a very friendly, personable style that is informative and easy-to-read, and he is the opposite of a whiskey snob. Highly recommended.
