Dies ist das definitive Buch zum Verständnis und zur Wertschätzung der Welt des Whiskeys. Der renommierte Whiskey-Pädagoge Robin Robinson entmystifiziert das Wasser des Lebens in einem umfassenden, reich illustrierten Werk, das die Leser auf eine globale Tour durch die sich ständig erweiternde Welt des Whiskeys mitnimmt. In zehn umfassenden Klassen erklärt Robinson die Geschichte des Whiskeys, wie sie die Herstellung von Whiskey in verschiedenen Ländern und Regionen geprägt hat, die Vielzahl der Stile, wie Reifung und Veredelung funktionieren und die Grundlagen des Nosing und Tastings von Whiskey. In Kapiteln, die dem amerikanischen Whiskey (einschliesslich Bourbon, Tennessee Whiskey und Rye), amerikanischem Craft Whiskey, Scotch, irischem, kanadischem, japanischem und weltweitem Whiskey gewidmet sind, präsentiert Robinson die besten Angebote von neuen und historischen Produzenten, wie man zwischen ihnen wählt und wie man eine eigene Sammlung aufbaut. Jede Klasse ist eine Reise in die Whiskeys und Hersteller eines Landes, einschliesslich empfohlener Flaschen und Stile sowie Insiderinformationen darüber, wie Brennereien ihre einzigartigen Angebote herstellen. Jedes Kapitel enthält thematische Tastings, die nach Kategorien wie Schnäppchen, Wert, besonderen Anlässen und Luxuspreisen organisiert sind. Dieser umfassend aktuelle und vielseitige Leitfaden bietet auch hilfreiche Empfehlungen, wie man eine eigene Verkostung leitet, ein Glossar von Begriffen, Essenspaarungen und Tipps zu allem, von Gläsern über Whiskey-Festivals bis hin zu Etikettenlesen.
