Book Description
Welcome, dear reader, to a book that starts with a confession: I don't like whiskey. Or at least, I thought I didn't. For years, I turned down glasses of whiskey, convinced that this famed spirit was simply not for me. The smell was too strong, the taste too harsh, and the burn too intense. Whiskey was, in my mind, an acquired taste that I had no desire to acquire. What to Expect in This Book In the pages that follow, we'll delve into the fascinating world of whiskey. We'll start with a short story about the origins of whiskey and its journey through time. Then, we'll explore the different types of whiskeys and how they are made. I'll share tips on how to choose the perfect whiskey, from easy-to-enjoy options like Kilbeggan and Jameson to more complex Scottish single malts. We'll also have some fun along the way, with anecdotes and interesting facts about whiskey in popular culture. Did you know that whiskey was once used as currency? Or that some distilleries have secret recipes known only to a few individuals? These stories and more await you in the coming chapters. By the end of this book, I hope to convince even the most skeptical readers that there's a whiskey out there for everyone. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or a complete novice, there's always something new to learn and enjoy in the world of whiskey.A Toast to New Beginnings So, if you think you don't like whiskey, I invite you to join me on this journey. You might just find, as I did, that you haven't yet met the right one. Pour yourself a glass, sit back, and let’s explore the world of whiskey together. Here's to new beginnings and discovering the unexpected pleasures that life, and whiskey, can offer.

A must-read for aspiring connoisseurs, and a thorough refresher for seasoned whisky lovers.”—Whiskey Advocate Winner of the Gourmand Award in the Drink Education category (US).

Pages : 259
Book Description
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!

Whiskey in a Teacup
Author: Reese Witherspoon
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 150116628X
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Academy Award–winning actress, producer, and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon invites you into her world, where she infuses the southern style, parties, and traditions she loves with contemporary flair and charm. Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said that a combination of beauty and strength made southern women “whiskey in a teacup.” We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside we’re strong and fiery. Reese’s southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken. It’s reflected in how she entertains, decorates her home, and makes holidays special for her kids—not to mention how she talks, dances, and does her hair (in these pages, you will learn Reese’s fail-proof, only slightly insane hot-roller technique). Reese loves sharing Dorothea’s most delicious recipes as well as her favorite southern traditions, from midnight barn parties to backyard bridal showers, magical Christmas mornings to rollicking honky-tonks. It’s easy to bring a little bit of Reese’s world into your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a southern side to every place in the world, right?

Cheers to Michigan is a toast to cocktail culture in the Mitten and the state’s flourishing craft cocktail and distillery movements.

Throughout, the authors mix in dashes of Michigan’s fascinating drinking history, entertaining profiles of award-winning cocktail bars, distilleries, and individual spirits from the region, as well as helpful tidbits for preparing top-shelf cocktails on your own.

Whether you’re a fan of whiskey, gin, or vodka—of the latest cocktail trends or all-time classic drinks—there’s something in this book for all tastes. What’s constant is that each drink showcases a uniquely Michigan twist, making this book perfect for anyone who loves the state, its history and culture, or simply the delicious, delightful, and distinctive cocktails it has inspired.
