Canadian Whisky, Updated and Expanded (Third Edition)

“This book is a treasure trove of information and insight with zero pretentiousness, written by someone who is not only a fan and student of our national whisky, but also a champion. That’s a good thing, because we don’t tend to brag much in this country. After reading this book (and maybe having a short snort) we all might start tooting our horns a bit more.”—BRENT BUTT, comedian and writer

”Everything I ever wanted to know about Canadian whisky—and a good bit that I never thought I needed to—I learned from Davin de Kergommeaux. Since its first edition, Canadian Whisky has offered a wealth of insight and information, presented by a gifted writer and historian. This latest, updated edition illustrates the dynamism and excitement behind Canadian whisky. You could never ask for a better guide.”—CLAY RISEN, journalist and author of American Rye: A Guide to the Nation’s Original Spirit

“Davin de Kergommeaux is Canadian whisky’s greatest advocate. Single-handedly, he has brought it to the world’s attention. In these pages, he charts the saga of the country’s own spirit in both senses—the drink and the people. From its earliest days to the hugely exciting contemporary advances, he celebrates Canadian whisky, exploding a few myths along the way, while offering sound advice as to its future. This is not just a story about whisky, it is a story about a country. It is a tale that needed to be told. This is an essential buy for all whisky lovers—and all Canadians.”—DAVE BROOM, author of The World Atlas of Whisky

“In addition to exploring Canada’s new and legacy distillers and their offerings, Canadian Whisky does a masterful job of explaining what flavors and aromas to look for in tasting or evaluating Canadian whisky.”—Forbes
