Item Width: 6.5 in Reviews: "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 The World Atlas of Whisky Publication Year: 2024
