The Complete Book of Spirits
A Guide to Their History, Production and Enjoyment
by
Anthony Dias Blue
 |
This
could be the end-all book for spirits lovers who are aching
to be official spirits experts. We’re talking about
a very well-researched guide by one of the industry authorities,
Anthony Dias Blue. This is not a light, before-bed kind
of book, but rather one for someone who wants a thorough
education in spirits—and we mean thorough. The Complete
Book of Spirits details production, history, mixed drink
recipes and tasting notes on vodka, aquavit, gin, rum, tequila,
Scotch and Irish whiskey, North American whiskey, brandy,
liqueurs and bitters. While spouting off about the history
and advent of tequila and the regulations that govern its
production might make your friends nod off at the party,
being able to distinguish between tequila and mezcal, or
knowing why some mezcals have a worm, might prove to be
handy information. Blue’s brand profiles and tasting
notes are a valuable reference, especially when it comes
to building a well-stocked bar sure to please any guest.
In short, it’s sure to make spirits scholars smile.
