Synopsis

A staggeringly comprehensive, entertaining, and approachable deep dive into the world of whiskey from an aficionado.

The Whiskey Bible is a user's guide to all things whiskey (including, Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, single malts, and blends). Author Noah Rothbaum has spent 25 years researching, reporting on, and and of course, tasting whiskeys from around the world. He brings an obsessive's passion to the topic, offering up a country-by-country examination of the prominent distillers and whiskey culture, and tasting notes from hundreds of whiskeys, from the well-known labels to the small batch craft up-and-comers. The book includes engaging histories and a look at the nuances between distilling practices and whiskey making styles that span the globe. It also includes a rich appendix of whiskey cocktail recipes from the classic (Old-Fashioned) to the modern (The Irish Flip).

The book contains full color photography and illustrations throughout. “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” —Mark Twain
