This pocket-sized handbook is the perfect gift for whiskey connoisseurs and curious drinkers alike.

The world of whiskey can be intimidating. What’s the difference between single malt and blended? Does age really matter? Where does the angel’s share go? And when is a whiskey a whisky?

In Stuff Every Whiskey Lover Should Know, whiskey drinkers of all levels will discover practical advice and spirited trivia about the beloved beverage, including:

  • From Grain to Glass: How Whiskey Is Made
  • Decoding Whiskey Labels
  • Iconic and Emerging Whiskey Regions
  • Whiskey Pairings
  • Whiskey Lingo to Know

Plus, etiquette tips for ordering whiskey at the bar or visiting distilleries and cocktail recipes for creative at-home imbibing will show there’s no one “right” way to drink whiskey – but there are so many ways to enjoy it.
