Whiskey fever is sweeping the world. Every day, craft distilleries are popping up in remote counties & urban centers, offering a wealth of great choices to consumers & just as many puzzlements. Does the introduction of a simple "e" to go from whisky to whiskey mean anything? What's the difference between Scotch & Rye? What's Canadian whisky anyway? & what about the whiskeys of Scotl&, Japan, & Ireland? Where's a humble Joe to start? In this witty kid style book on an adult topic, Richard Betts boils down his know how into twenty pages, cooling our ''brown-sweat" anxieties & dividing whiskey into three simple categories
- Grain, Wood, & Place. While most whiskey tomes are about as fun as a chemistry lesson, Betts makes the learning slide down easy, reassuring us that this exalted spirit is just distilled beer &, through a nasal romp, helping us figure out which kinds we love best. Humorous illustrations & scratch-&-sniff scents (vanilla, sandalwood, grass, & more) help would be connoisseurs learn their personal preferences. Language label & Map to Your Desires included.
