Product Description
Book Description
The fastest growing area of interest in the world of whiskey is American whiskey. In this, the first comprehensive guide to the subject, Jim Murray offers his inimitable tasting notes and assessments of every Bourbon, Tennessee, and Rye whiskey in existence. A regular visitor to Kentucky and Tennessee, the author reveals the secrets of the American distillers' art and tells the colorful stories behind the history of each distillery and brand, from world leaders like Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, and Maker's Mark to increasingly admired small-batch gems such as Knob Creek. This is the definitive book for connoisseurs and budding Bourbon buffs alike. Jim Murray is widely considered the leading writer on whiskey. He is a three-time winner of the prestigious Glenfiddich Whiskey Writer of the Year Award and the author of Classic Irish Whiskey. 192 pp 4 1/2 x 7 100+ color illustrations

Fantastic and thorough coverage of the best whisk(e)y!, April 23 1999

This review is from: Classic Bourbon: Tennessee & Rye Whiskey (Hardcover)
It seems that most authors on the finer spirits tend to take an antiseptic view of their work. They may simply chronicle the historical background of some of the largest distilleries and review the high-end labels. But Mr. Murray writes with a distinctive passion about his favorite of all spirits (his admission on a radio talk show in Scotland). If you enjoy bourbon but have been afraid to plunk down the cash for a high-priced bottle, check out this book and then go for it! You won't be disappointed.
