Book excerpt: Jargon Like all the best things, whiskey is a fairly simple business that can easily be made to sound exclusive and impressive by a judicious application of the arcane and by a liberal sprinkling of jargon. If you keep in mind that no two whiskies are alike, while bearing in mind that 99% of whiskey drinkers cannot tell the difference, you cannot go wrong. Blends You would be better advised to try cracking the formula of Coca-Cola than attempt to discover what has gone into a bottle of your usual brand of blended whiskey. Distilleries There are dozens of Speyside distilleries, mostly clustered about the line from Elgin to Dufftown. Be sure to quote the old Speyside jingle: “Rome was built on seven hills, Dufftown on seven stills.” Irish Irish whiskey tastes sweeter because no peat is used to kiln the malt; this is odd for a country that has virtually more bog per hectare than anywhere else on the planet. Highland qualities As one of the principal variables of whiskey, water should enable you to anatomize the contents of your glass in terms that leave the average wine enthusiast eating your dust. Enthuse about its unique “Highland qualities,” that is to say ready-infused with mystic trace elements of peat, granite, heather, midge, tweed, damp, and Roman Ninth legion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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!
