About this title

Synopsis

Whisky has been misunderstood for too long.

It has been dressed up as a connoisseur's territory, full of rules, rituals, and quiet intimidation. Or reduced to something swirled, sipped, and judged in thirty seconds. Neither does it justice.

All About Whisk(e)y takes a different approach. It begins where most people actually begin, with curiosity, a little uncertainty, and a glass that arrived before they were ready for it.

What follows is whisky as it truly is: a drink shaped by centuries of resistance, accident, and craft. Grain, water, yeast, fire, wood, and time, these are the only ingredients. But everything that happens between field and bottle turns out to matter enormously, and this book explains why.

Readers will trace whisky's defiant origins, understand how small decisions in a mash tun echo for years inside a cask, navigate the styles and regions of Scotland, Ireland, America, Japan, and beyond, and learn to taste with genuine attention rather than borrowed vocabulary. They will also confront the myths about age, price, and purity, and find that the truth is far more interesting.

This is not a book of rankings or rituals. It does not tell you how to drink. It tells you what whisky actually is, and trusts you to take it from there. Patient, honest, and without pretension.

Take your time.
