Description

Savour the bold notes and rich varieties of Canadian whisky with this fully revised, updated,  and indispensable guide.

This fully updated and revised edition of the award-winning Canadian Whisky invites you on a journey across Canada and back through time to discover the story of this unique spirit. Independent whisky expert Davin de Kergommeaux weaves a compelling narrative, beginning with the substance of Canadian whisky--grains, water, and wood--and details the process of how it's made and how to taste it. He traces the fascinating history of the country's major distilleries and key visionaries, and introduces the present-day players--big and small--who are shaping the industry through both tradition and innovation.
     Newly designed, and now including a map of Canada's whisky distilleries, over 100 up-to-date tasting notes, and a handy tasting checklist, Canadian Whisky reflects the latest research on flavour development and the science of taste. At once authoritative and captivating, this is a must-have resource for beginners, enthusiasts, and aficionados alike.
