The History of Whiskey
In this beautiful volume, award-winning spirits expert Robin Robinson skillfully chronicles the development of whiskey, highlighting a hundred exceptional milestones in its history.

Over the centuries, taxes and prohibition took their toll, even sparking the Whiskey Rebellion in the early years of American independence.

Surveying the evolution of Scotch, the birth of bourbon and rye, and the importance of family ties, quality control, corporatization, and marketing, this comprehensive compendium details the global impact of the beverage conglomerates, the world's most expensive Scotch, the 2011 curveball of aging bourbon in ex-port barrels, and more.
