From the Publisher
Davin de Kergommeaux takes readers on a journey through the first
systematic presentation of Canadian whisky: how it''s made, who
makes it, why it tastes the way it does, its history, and the rich,
centuries-old folklore surrounding it.
Join whisky authority Davin de Kergommeaux on a pan-Canadian
journey from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, celebrating the
diversity of Canada''s unique spirit. With his conversational and
accessible tutelage, de Kergommeaux offers readers a carefully
researched, reliable, and authoritative guide to Canadian whisky
that is, quite simply, not available anywhere else. Not only a book
describing the history and culture of the spirit, Canadian
Whisky: The Portable Expert is also an informed
exploration of taste. For the first time, whisky consumers --
experts and novices alike -- can approach Canadian whisky with a
connoisseur''s appreciation of its rich subtleties.
