Whether served neat, on the rocks or stirred into a cocktail, whiskey is often praised as the finest spirit in the world. On paper it might sound like a simple concoction — water and grain, fermented by yeast, then aged in a wood cask — but whiskey is about so much more than its physical ingredients. In The Impossible Collection of Whiskey, bestselling spirits writer Clay Risen unpacks the history of this storied drink, inviting the reader to tour some of the world’s most famed distilleries and their finest bottles. From the best Scotch of the Scottish Highlands to Kentucky’s finest Bourbon, Risen’s selection of 100 unparalleled whiskeys come from age-old makers as well as trailblazers of the craft distilling movement that has swept across the globe.
