Description
Yaffe, an entrepreneur, photographer, filmmaker, and founder of a magazine on alcohol, offers whiskey enthusiasts a book on the drink that focuses on stories, history, anecdotes, and approachable ways to understand it. He does not provide a comprehensive discussion of whiskey or rules on how to drink it, but instead describes its types, history, creation, proof, tasting, pricing, and what malt is, then white dog whiskey, Scotch, and American, Canadian, Irish, and Japanese whiskey, and types from other countries, ending with the process of making it. Drink recipes are included. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
