Start With These Five Books") Go beyond the glass and discover the secrets behind your favorite styles of American whiskey in this updated, expanded, deluxe edition featuring a faux-leather cover. 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 critically acclaimed guides Tasting Whiskey and Whiskey Master Class. In this expanded edition of American Whiskey Master Class, Lew focuses solely on American whiskeys, sharing everything he's learned on his journey through the world of American bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys. This approachable book is like a "200-level" class taught by a favorite teacher, with compelling tales (like how barrel aging came to be), insider tips (such as an old taster's trick for sampling whiskey), and explanations you never thought you needed (like why you can never get a beverage that's 100% alcohol--and why you should stick to whiskey!). In this handsome edition, you'll find it all:
Every chapter contains a variety of unique, often behind-the-scenes photography, coupled with Bryson's master storytelling. And with whiskey as the subject, this is a class where you'll want to do the homework. Review Citations:
