Go beyond the glass and discover the secrets behind your favorite styles of American whiskey in this updated, expanded, deluxe edition of American Whiskey Master Class featuring a faux-leather cover. This journey focuses solely on American whiskeys, sharing everything author Lew Bryson has learned on his journey through the world of American bourbon, rye, and other whiskeys.

This approachable book is like a “200-level” class taught by a favorite teacher, with compelling tales (like how barrel aging came to be), insider tips (such as an old taster’s trick for sampling whiskey), and explanations you never thought you needed (like why you can never get a beverage that’s 100% alcohol — and why you should stick to whiskey!).
