"Given the increased interest in spirits, this is a wonderfully timely book." * Wine-searcher.com * "Those who work with spirits or simply enjoy them should take a look at a new book on the intoxicating subject." * So Tunbridge Wells Magazine * "An excellent reference manual for industry professionals." * Foodepedia.com * "This is a decent addition to the bookshelves" * The Vodka Guy * "An absolutely fascinating book" * Foodytraveller.com * "I don't really like drinks books. They normally preach to me and I feel SMALL. [Mark Ridgwell's Spirits distilled, however, in particular], the mescal and tequila page [was] so good. I finished it. What an oeuvre." -- Rupert Ponsonby - Director R and R Teamwork Media Relations "This is an absolute must for anyone who is thinking of becoming a bartender, the information in here is invaluable for them. I would definitely recommend it." -- Michael John Sweetman - National Vice President of UKBG "Great book. Rare to get such a conversational tone along with so much factual material. It's normally one or the other." -- Graham Holter * The Wine Merchant Magazine * "It all makes an essential read for the bartender wanting to further their knowledge." * Australian Bartender *
