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.
