In the populist tradition of Andrea Immer, New York City’s first female whiskey sommelier translates today’s freshest spirit for a new generation of imbibers
 
Whiskey is in the course of a huge renaissance. Ten years ago, america housed sixty-nine craft distillers; today, there are more than four hundred. Exports of Scotch whisky grew 12 percent just last year. Sales are skyrocketing, and specialty bars are popping up around the country, from New York City to Chicago to Houston.
 
Yet whiskey drinkers—especially novices—are more puzzled than ever. Over the past decade, whiskey expert Heather Greene has been bombarded with thousands of questions, including Can I have ice in my whiskey? Why is it occasionally spelled “whisky”? What makes bourbon different? As New York City’s first female whiskey sommelier, Greene introduces audiences to the spirit’s charms and challenges the boys’ club sensibilities that have made whiskey seem inaccessible, with surprising new research that shows the the most important importance of nosingwhiskey. Through lively tastings, speaking engagements, and classes such as the preferred Whiskey as an Aphrodisiac, Greene has been demystifying whiskey the way Andrea Immer did wine a decade ago.
 
In this lively and authoritative guide, Greene uses bright visuals, an easy-to-read format, and the familiar vocabulary of wine to teach readers about whiskey and encourage them to make their own evaluations. Peppered with wry anecdotes drawn from her ordinary life—and including recipes for delicious cocktails by some of today’s most celebrated mixologists—Whiskey Distilled will be enthusiastically greeted by the whiskey curious in addition to by journeymen whiskey drinkers thirsty to be told more about their beloved tipple.
