Resumen del Editor
In the populist tradition of Andrea Immer, New York City's first female whiskey sommelier translates today's hottest spirit for a new generation of imbibers Whiskey is in the midst of a huge renaissance. Ten years ago, the United States housed sixty-nine craft distillers; today, there are more than four hundred. Exports of Scotch whisky grew 12 percent just last year. Sales are skyrocketing, and specialty bars are popping up around the country, from New York City to Chicago to Houston. Yet whiskey drinkers - especially novices - are more confused than ever.
Over the past decade, whiskey expert Heather Greene has been bombarded with thousands of questions, including: Can I have ice in my whiskey? Why is it sometimes spelled "whisky"? What makes bourbon different? As New York City's first female whiskey sommelier, Greene introduces audiences to the spirit's charms and challenges the boys' club sensibilities that have made whiskey seem inaccessible, with surprising new research that shows the crucial importance of "nosing" whiskey. Through lively tastings, speaking engagements, and classes such as the popular "Whiskey as an Aphrodisiac," Greene has been demystifying whiskey the way Andrea Immer did wine a decade ago.
In this lively and authoritative guide, Greene teaches listeners about whiskey and encourages them to make their own evaluations. Peppered with wry anecdotes drawn from her unusual life - and including recipes for delicious cocktails by some of today's most celebrated mixologists - Whiskey Distilled will be enthusiastically greeted by the whiskey curious as well as by journeymen whiskey drinkers thirsty to learn more about their beloved tipple.

Historia
Straightforward and opinionated, Short Course in Beer is designed to turn the novice beer lover into an expert imbiber and the casual drinker into an enthusiast. Readers will come to understand the beauty of beer and the sources of its flavor, as well as learn which beers are worth our time and which are not. With tongue in cheek, the author examines beer's historical connections to the Crusades, the Hundred Years' War, and modern-day soccer riots. He talks frankly (and joyfully) about the effects of alcohol on the body and brain, he defends beer from its enemies, and ushers it out of the frat house and into the dining room.

Historia
There are few greater pleasures in life than enjoying a wonderful glass of wine. So why does finding and choosing one you like seem so stressful? Now, becoming a happier, more confident wine drinker is easy. The first step is to forget all the useless, needlessly complicated stuff the "experts" have been telling you. Acclaimed wine writer Jon Bonné explains everything you need to know in simple, easy-to-digest tidbits. And the news is good! For example: A wine's price rarely reflects its quality. And you can drink rosé any time of year.

The Brewer's Tale is a beer-filled journey into the past: the story of brewers gone by and one brave writer's quest to bring them - and their ancient, forgotten beers - back to life, one taste at a time. This is the story of the world according to beer, a toast to flavors born of necessity and place - in Belgian monasteries, rundown farmhouses, and the basement nanobrewery next door. So pull up a barstool and raise a glass to 5,000 years of fermented magic.

In Proof, Adam Rogers reveals alcohol as a miracle of science, going deep into the pleasures of making and drinking booze—and the effects of the latter. The people who make and sell alcohol may talk about history and tradition, but alcohol production is really powered by physics, molecular biology, organic chemistry, and a bit of metallurgy—and our taste for those products is a melding of psychology and neurobiology.

Historia
And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass. With a chapter for each of 10 cocktails, Wayne Curtis reveals that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the exploding sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society. Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America, to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba, and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America.

Every great drink starts with a plant. Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley. Gin was born from a conifer shrub when medieval physicians boiled juniper berries with wine to treat stomach pain. The Drunken Botanist uncovers the surprising botanical history and fascinating science and chemistry of over 150 plants, flowers, trees, and fruits (and even a few fungi).

Mezcal. In recent years, the oldest spirit in the Americas has been reinvented as a pricy positional good popular among booze connoisseurs and the mixologists who use it as a cocktail ingredient. Unlike most high-end distillates, most small-batch mezcal is typically produced by and for subsistence farming communities, often under challenging conditions.

Historia
October 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Volstead Act, which put the enforcement teeth into Prohibition. But the law didn't stop George Remus from cornering the boozy, illegal liquor marketplace and amassing a fortune that eclipsed $200 million (the equivalent of $4.75 billion today). As eminent documentarian Ken Burns proclaimed, "Remus was to bootlegging what Rockefeller was to oil." Author Bob Batchelor has unearthed a treasure trove of untapped historical archives to cover the life, times, and crimes of the man who ran the largest bootlegging operation in America.

And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass. With a chapter for each of 10 cocktails, Wayne Curtis reveals that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the exploding sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society. Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America, to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba, and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America.

The Drunken Botanist uncovers the surprising botanical history and fascinating science and chemistry of over 150 plants, flowers, trees, and fruits (and even a few fungi).

Historia
Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Every home cook has thoughts on the right and wrong ways to use spices. These beliefs are passed down in family recipes and pronounced by television chefs, but where do such ideas come from? Many are little better than superstition, and most serve only to reinforce a cook's sense of superiority or cover for their insecurities. It doesn't have to be this way. These notes On Spice come from three generations of a family in the spice trade, and dozens upon dozens of their collected spice guides and stories.

Buy the hard copy, skip the audio!
What did you love best about Whiskey Distilled?
This book provides a great primer (not PRIME er, see comments below on narration) on whiskey, from how it's made to how to taste it to how to get started with your whiskey collection. I loved the content of this book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Whiskey Distilled?
Fascinating stuff about the importance of the nose in tasting, especially snippet on how whiskeys basically taste the same if one's nose is plugged.
Would you be willing to try another one of Tavia Gilbert’s performances?
Not unless I'm in the mood for a romance novel.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
Any additional comments?
The content of Ms. Greene's book is great. It has a fantastic introduction to whiskey tasting and making, with very helpful suggestions on how to nose and taste whiskey; how to build a bar; food and whiskey pairings, etc. But the narration...oh boy. Ms. Gilbert's tone is that of someone narrating a Jane Austen book, not one about whiskey. Seriously, parts of it are like listening to a romance novel. Nor does she appear to know much about the topic. I’m not saying she should be an expert like Ms. Greene in order to narrate, but she should at least have some familiarity with the topic – including pronunciation. I had to rewind to make sure I heard this right (wrong), but she actually pronounced “Ancient Age” as “Ancient Egg”. And Bardstown is now Bardston? Really? And doesn’t primer with a long “I” refer to paint? (Although it was sure helpful to have the proper pronunciation of Dutch cheese in there. “Mr. Darcy, do stay for some HOWduh and sherry!”) My advice: Skip the audiobook and pick up the hard copy. This soundtrack will drive you to drink.

Great Audio IF You Did Your Homework
For the reviews that state she talks about herself, well yeah she does and should. She is brilliant and knows the industry inside and out from the view on both sides of the pond. Again, do some homework. While this book was in development I'm sure she had to have been building her business Milam & Greene yet never alludes to it (By the way her bourbons are fantastic).
The reason I bought this audio is because I am hitting the Texas Bourbon Trail and one of the stops for us will be the M & G distillery. I researched Heather's background and was actually intrigued how a pianist went from working gig to gig to where she is now.
She does break down the basics of what bourbon and whiskey/whisky are, the history, how they are made and clears up MANY of the jargon, misconceptions and advertising tricks distillers use to get you to buy their bourbon.
Overall it's an easy listening, informative and enjoyable audio and NO you don't need to have the hard copy to enjoy. You can bookmark items if you wish but it's not really necessary. So jump in and enjoy.

Overall, an excellent audio book! I gave the story four stars only because listening to cocktail ingredients being listed doesn't make for much fun... although it is nice to have the information. I would recommend this audio book to any new comer to the world of whiskey, or is it whiskey? I guess you're going to have to listen to find out!

Well thought out and a balanced approach to the topic
If you are open minded then this is for you. The context touches on the science and the art of both the legacy and the growing phenomena in the market. There is a charm to the writing style and an attempt to cover the broadness of the topic. Heather understands the difference in tasters and their backgrounds. She is not trying to do to Whisk(e)y what Robert Parker did to wine. There is a tight line to walk when communicating something so many take so personally. She recognizes the line but at the same time doesn't get overly PC. Hopefully, she continues to evolve her writing muse in future writings for us to enjoy.

Excellent book for beginning Whisk(e)y drinkers
This is an excellent book for someone starting out wanting to learn about and tasting whisky. It is very informative. The author does a brief but very informative overview of just about every topic there is to learn about whiskey, from tasting techniques, common terminology, reading labels, distillery process, casks, etc. I opted for the audible version of this book because I tend to spend most of my time driving. However, I will actually be purchasing the text because there is so much information I want to read over as well as recipes to try. The book kept me interested and even further excited me to continue to pursue my knowledge in whiskey.
