Just as wine is to the French or beer is to the Germans, whiskey--especially bourbon and rye--is

Reviews for The Art of American Whiskey: A Visual History of the Nation's Most Storied Spirit, Through 100 Iconic Labels

This splendid introduction to American whiskey, told through its iconography and period cocktails, sure whets the appetite for a glass of the real thing! Charles MacLean, author of World Whiskey As an immigrant to the United States, I knew little about American history until I started to research bourbon back in the 1990s. Reading The Art of American Whiskey was like taking a graduate course. Pour yourself two fingers of whiskey, then pore over this fascinating and incredibly beautiful book it s a grand way to relax. Gary gaz Regan, author of The Negroni and coauthor of The Book of Bourbon and Other Fine American Whiskeys
