Synopsis

Nosing & Tasting the Water of Life: Blue Collar & Scholar Guide to Whisky Pairing is about single malt Scotch made from a traditional distilling process in Scotland and how it creates an existential relationship between this ancient tradition and a sensory experience waiting to unfold.

The guide offers a history of how whisky made its way to Scotland and outwitted tax collectors for hundreds of years. It explores the process of distilling the single malt and describes the whisky regions and where distilleries are located. It also explores the alchemy of tasting the 'water of life'. Offers some science and lore and examines the language of whisky and the sometimes baffling and hard to pronounce names of the whisky distilleries. In addition, there are musings and advice on pairing the single malt with food, cigars, activities and sunsets, as well as trends and challenges for the whisky industry in the future.
