Across ten robust \"classes,\" Robinson explains whiskey history, how it defined the way whiskey is made in different countries and regions, the myriad styles, how aging and finishing works, and the basics of \"nosing\" and tasting whiskey. In chapters dedicated to American whiskey (including bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, and rye), American Craft whiskey, Scotch, Irish, Canadian, Japanese, and world whiskies, Robinson presents the best offerings from new and historic producers, how to choose among them, and how to build a collection of your own. Each \"class\" is a journey into a country's whiskies and makers, including recommended bottles and styles, as well as insider information on how distilleries make their unique offerings. Each chapter includes themed tastings organized by bargain, value, special occasion, and splurge price categories. This thoroughly up-to-date and wide-ranging guide also offers helpful recommendations on how to lead your own tasting, a glossary of terms, food pairings, and tips on everything from glassware to whiskey festivals and how to read a label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sterling Publishing (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781454921226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 8.60w x 1.20d","brand":"Robin Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36651615453340,"sku":"9781454921226","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f3fc7cfc-6c8f-428b-beed-89674298bd73.jpg?v=1603877979","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-complete-whiskey-course-a-comprehensive-tasting-school-in-ten-classes-9781454921226","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
