She starts off with a more general explanation of what whiskey is, the different types of whiskeys, bourbon, scotch, etc. And the lesson at the end of it all: don't drink what others tell you is good, drink what you enjoy. A lot of the analysis is compared to wine, as most people have a better understanding of wines, and that can translate to spirits. She also has a YouTube channel that goes through the same things, but in 5-minute chunks and spread over a few episodes. Watching those episodes pushed me to learn more. So I bought this book.

To be savoured with a good dram!The value of this book is enhanced by Greene's clear and jolly style of writing, and the book size is small enough (223 pages in quarto size). The differences between single malt and single grain; single malt and single malt scotch; blended and unblended whisky are clearly explained. The reader will find out what bourbon is and why Jack Daniel is a special kind of bourbon (using Lincoln County process). She also explains the distillation process and the importance of water during and after distillation (some distillers do not add spring water during distillation - hence their whisky have higher alcohol content). She surveys whisky made from the main whisky countries including Scotland, Ireland, United States, Japan, and India carefully, and clearly explaining the different approaches in the process and thus the different flavours they produce. There is a chapter with suggestions on how to build a whisky bar at home. This is useful to the novice whisky drinker. A previous distiller takes issue with a couple of her suggestions from Noah's Mill and Rowan's Creek on the ground that she wrongly classified them as 'grain to bottle distillers). She did, but she also mentioned that these distillers produce different kinds of whisky. She was probably referring to the small batch whisky (explained elsewhere in the book) here. There are also chapters on whisky glassware, as well as whisky cocktails. Importantly nowadays when more people are drinking whisky with their food, Greene has a whisky and food pairing section. And, of course, the common question about ice and whisky is has not been left out. If there is just one book that one will have in the home, Greene's will probably be the popular choice.

THIS IS A BOOK about whiskey, so I will begin it by describing my own first taste one summer between eighth and ninth grades. It happened on a Saturday afternoon behind Kenny Bash’s house. Kenny was the neighborhood troublemaker. As I sat on the hard plastic board of his rusted-out, squeaky swing set, dragging my bare feet back and forth on a patch of dirt, he handed me a plastic liter container of bright orange soda and commanded, “Take a sip.” After a quick swig, I gagged, and his cruel bray of adolescent laughter followed. “Take more,” he said. “It’s Jack.” This was dangerous territory and I knew it. In a panic, I hurried back home, terrified that my parents would find out about the Jack. I shoved a fistful of grass into my mouth—I’d heard that grass hides the smell of alcohol. When my parents didn’t notice, I thanked my lucky stars and promised myself that I’d never drink whiskey again. I’ve spent the past ten years breaking that promise. Today I am the Director of Whiskey Education at The Flatiron Room Whiskey School in Manhattan and I teach whiskey classes there every week. I’m also the restaurant’s sommelier, which is a word that comes from nineteenth-century French and essentially means butler. I didn’t sit whiskey tests to become one (there aren’t any) nor do I mean to turn anyone off with a word that can sound pretentious. Truth is, what I do is very butlerlike: I roam the floor, serve guests, and pluck a few personal details out of them to help them find the whiskey they will love. “What wine or cocktail do you normally drink?” I might ask, or, “What do you like to eat?” Then I’ll hunt down the perfect whiskey—out of the thousand or so The Flatiron Room stocks—to suit their palate. On days I’m not at The Flatiron Room, I write about whiskey for a couple of magazines. And when I’m not doing that, I’m often out on the town with a friend or my husband, checking out a new cocktail bar or restaurant that serves my favorite spirit. I guess you could say I’ve essentially built a career on drinking Jack. In a move my colleagues and a few friends found odd, in 2012 I left my “sweet-ass” job as a “whiskey ambassador” to join The Flatiron Room and write. As an ambassador to Glenfiddich, “world’s number one selling single malt Scotch,” I enjoyed dazzling perks like international travel and a corporate card that allowed me to buy a nice steak dinner for dozens at high-end strip joints and country clubs, if you’re into that sort of thing. I can rattle off some of the best places in the United States to find hedonistic entertainment, and I’ve played golf (badly) on famous courses like those at Turnberry in Scotland. I even climbed Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for charity during a blizzard wearing Glenfiddich-branded gear, and slept in it too, perched on the side of a cliff in a quivering tent. At each dinner, corporate function, golf tournament, charity gala, magazine interview, TV spot, fashion show, private yacht trip, private plane trip, car show, and even rodeo, my role was the same: to make my audience fall in love with whiskey. Oh, and to use Glenfiddich while doing it. Someone asked every other night whether I “really liked Glenfiddich” or if there was some other whiskey I secretly drank in private. While I never admitted that I had secret lovers, I’d be true in my answer: I chose to work as an ambassador for Glenfiddich because I liked it in the first place, not the other way around. It’s also a brand that aficionados love for its collectibility and taste—I stood next to a bidder at the base of the Statue of Liberty during a Glenfiddich charity auction and watched in awe as he won the bottle for close to a hundred thousand dollars. It was a good gig. But relationships evolve. I started to feel a nagging love for bourbon, rye, Japanese whiskies, Irish whiskeys, and a bevy of other exciting spirits, and soon I needed to spend more time with them, too. So Glenfiddich and I split. Whiskey monogamy just isn’t my thing. By the end of this book, it won’t be yours, either. The most important thing I’ve learned by hosting events—whether they’re for a hundred corporate executives on behalf of a big whiskey company or for two guests at The Flatiron Room—is how to talk about it. And, while speaking to thousands (yes, that’s right, thousands ) of whiskey drinkers, my goal is to demystify whiskey and answer questions like: How do you taste whiskey. What are you supposed to smell. Do you swirl whiskey like wine. Can you put ice in a whiskey. Water? What does “small batch” mean. Why is Johnnie Walker Blue so expensive. How do you store it. Can you make money by investing in it. Its popularity is growing faster than the good information available on the topic. And some of the advice out there is just plain off the mark. I’ve read blogs written by brutish whiskey fans that say certain (critically acclaimed) brands aren’t even good enough to use as a toilet cleaner, and that to drink them means you have no taste. But taste is subjective. I’ve heard brand ambassadors explain that whiskey won’t make you drunk, but tequila will. Nonsense. I read nosing notes on Web sites and in books that go on for as many pages as Moby Dick. But the truth is, most experts can realistically identify five distinct aromas. I listened to a tourist guide for a famous American whiskey distillery explain to thirty of us that all Scotch tastes like smoke. Not true. My role here, then, is to sift through all the junky information out there, and give you a real primer of whiskeys, so that you’ll be able to identify bunk like a champ and become an expert yourself. You’ll taste along the way and have fun, too. But someone like me needs to “establish credibility,” according to one CEO who attended my tasting. I resisted that advice for years, but he was right. Now I always explain my background. The result? First, guests cease fact-checking things I say with their iPhones tucked under the table, and second, I don’t have to answer “Do you really drink this stuff?” after I’ve taught a ninety-minute class. How I Got into Whiskey Before whiskey, there was music. As a professional solo musician for close to ten years, I poured my heart and soul into the creation of song, the rigor of touring, the passion of singing, and the pure joy of playing keyboard. I had recorded two albums, which received wildly wonderful reviews in New York City, and I was performing in front of rapidly growing audiences. From the outside, my music career appeared wonderfully on track, but my bank account told a different story. After I’d had one sold-out concert in New York City, an appearance on WFUV in New York, and even a European Rolling Stone review in anticipation of an upcoming tour, a friend (who had also just completed a European tour with a world-famous musician) asked me for twenty bucks because “cash flow was tough.” We were on the corner of Broadway and 4th Street, right next to a boarded-up Virgin Records store. I went to get money, and instead of hearing the comforting electronic patter of bills being sorted inside the ATM machine, the dreaded Funds Not Available sign flashed on the screen. We walked back to the club where we had just performed and shamelessly asked our bass-player friend to get us both—two “professional” musicians—home in his truck. The advent of new technology and iTunes had officially tossed the music world upside down, and none of us were making money anymore. What should have started looking like a lucrative (finally!) career became a barrage of confusion, record-label fights, and overall heartbreak for just about every musician I knew, including myself. Around this same time, my husband was accepted to graduate school in Edinburgh, Scotland. We packed our stuff and left Manhattan during the fall of 2005. I very quickly went from a “struggling musician with promise” to a struggling musician, period. The high of an Italian performance in Rome was followed by the lows of phone calls I made begging the label to pay me what they owed. My life became an emotional roller coaster, and I was terribly homesick for the fast-paced New York life we’d left, with my community of musicians, weekly gigs, and the easy access to recording studios. During one of my lavish pity parties, my husband turned to me and said that I really needed to do something. So I went out drinking. I was hired on my first day out “looking for something to do” by a gentleman called Douglas McFarlane, who spoke with a chowder-thick Scottish accent and managed the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), a private membership bar for Scotch whisky lovers. I learned about the job by reading a Help Wanted ad in a local paper and it seemed like a fun way to meet some cool people and be Scottish-y. In my experience, working in restaurants and bars immerses one quickly into a local scene and its cast of characters. That it was a whisky venue was a total bonus. The beverage director there had conducted a few whiskey tastings to help the staff better sell the stuff and I realized that there was more to whiskey than taking a shot or mixing it with Coke. Two large fireplaces flank one side of an oak-lined room. One of the employees would later show me how to wrap my fingers around panels, moldings, door frames, and windowsills to scale the periphery of the room without touching the floor, like a rock climber. That’s what British schoolboys sometimes do, I learned. To the left of the front entrance of the room, there is an exquisite collection of whiskey, representing almost every distillery that has ever operated in Scotland. Bottles line shelves in neat rows and bartenders serve whisky from a small, shiny wooden bar. Members take their “dram” to one of a few long library tables and enjoy it alongside the daily paper and a tuna sandwich. When I worked there, guests at SMWS included a smattering of locals who chatted about how to salmon fish or grow brambles, and a few passing American Scotch-drinking enthusiasts on their way to play golf at places like St. Andrews. I spent my first day at the SMWS with Doug, tasting cask-strength whisky (whisky straight out of the cask at a higher proof), playing with a miniature whisky-making model, and testing my sensory skills with a nosing kit that always sat on the bar for guests to test their sense of smell. The kit held little samples of lavender, herbs, spices, and vanilla tucked into little glass jars. Douglas’s passion for whisky echoed my own for writing songs and performing; he talked about flavor and smell with the same fervor I talked about keyboard riffs. I was hooked—creativity and sensuality lived in whisky making and appreciation, too. From that point on, my life would be a balancing act between two great loves. Within a few months of my working at SMWS, Doug invited me to sit with a bunch of whisky experts to do cask tastings and discuss whether the whiskies we tried were delicious enough to bottle and sell under the SMWS label. In a strange twist of fate, one of the regular panelists backed out for a singing gig, so I took his spot. I was very nervous. I was still a student, I felt, not yet someone worthy enough to be on a judging panel. Tasting whiskey and writing notes about it, it turns out, is a good time. I approached the task the same way I’d sit down to write a song: without self-ridicule and with eagerness. And because I had worked in so many Manhattan restaurants with killer wine lists, I figured some of the same notes I used to describe wine to guests could also describe whiskey characteristics. I was right. Whiskey, wine, and even music share a common language or, pun intended, notes. So there you have it. I honed my whiskey chops by both channeling my passion for music into it and capitalizing on a wine vocabulary amassed from years of restaurant work. A Note for You Wine Lovers I make comparisons between whiskey and wine throughout the book because I know many of you come to whiskey with a working knowledge of the wine world. I see this in my classes and in the type of questions I get, like “What vintage is particularly good for whiskey?” Pascaline Lepeltier, a skilled sommelier who runs what The New York Times called the best wine program in New York City at Rouge Tomate, has given me some additional insight about whiskey from the wine perspective. We once hosted a class together called Whiskey for the Wine Lover, and I admired her ability to help narrow whiskey choices based on wine so much that I’m including her recommendations in this book. I’m also excited about our quick-look whiskey versus wine chart. You’ll find both of these charts in the appendix at the end of the book. We’ll Make Cocktails, Too Hemant Pathak and Alex Valencia, two bartenders I work with at The Flatiron Room, will provide you with ingredients and techniques for how to make a fabulous whiskey cocktail in chapter 5. The three of us spent countless hours experimenting with different whiskeys, each with varying flavor profiles, to come up with a few fun cocktails for you to try at home. We’ve included both simple concoctions and ones that challenge the skillful chef. I don’t know many bartenders who are skilled at making such mind-blowing whiskey drinks as these men are, but what really impresses me about both Alex and Hemant is their elegance and humility behind the bar, as well as the cultural element they bring to their cocktail making. Hemant, who was born and raised in India, will cultivate your whiskey love by combining the spirit with ingredients like cardamom and Darjeeling while Alex’s playful use of smoke and fruit are a nod to mescal and the vibrant colors that surrounded him as a boy in Mexico. But first, the fundamentals. In the next few chapters, we’ll dive headfirst into the basics: whiskey appreciation, how to discover your palate, whiskey regions, and whiskey making 101. And the best part? I’ll guide you through tastings in each chapter. And, I’ll cultivate your whiskey love by introducing you to distillers, writers, master blenders, scientists, chefs, restaurant owners, and even whiskey-loving presidents. So drink up! We’ve got a whole world of whiskey to explore. 1 Whiskey Fundamentals Appreciation 101 and Finding Your Palate What Is Whiskey?
