World Atlas of Gin


'Excellent' - Susy Atkins, the Telegraph For everyone and anyone who wants to understand more about gin, this is the definitive guide - covering the best gins the world has to offer, history and production methods, and the countries that have helped make gin a global success story. Never has there been a more striking revolution in the world of distilled spirits than the current renaissance of gin. With small craft distilleries popping up all over the world, from Texas to Tasmania, more varieties and techniques being used than ever before, and a tapestry of tastes from light and citrusy to big bold savoury notes, gin's appeal is extraordinarily wide and varied. From gin made in small batches from local botanicals, through to large facilities which make some of the world's most recognized gin brands, World Atlas of Gin looks at everything from the botanical to the bottle: how and where botanicals are grown and harvested and their role within the flavour of gin; producers and the stories behind their brands; exactly where, and how, gins are made; and, country by country, the best examples to try. Global cocktails are covered too, including the history and country of origin of some of the best-known mixed gin drinks.

101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die (Revised and Updated)


Fourth edition, fully revised and updated. 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a whisky guide with a difference. It is not an awards list. It is not a list of the 101 'best' whiskies in the world in the opinion of a self-appointed whisky guru. It is simply a guide to the 101 whiskies that enthusiasts must seek out and try in order to complete their whisky education. Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited and the absurdly expensive, whisky expert Ian Buxton recommends an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. The book decodes the marketing hype and gets straight to the point; whether from Canada, India, America, Sweden, Ireland, Japan or the hills, glens and islands of Scotland, here are the 101 whiskies that you really want. Try them before you die - Slainte!

Drinking alcohol is accepted as the norm in social situations, and Japan is no exception, from hanami picnics to celebrate cherry blossom season to business meetings in izakaya restaurants.

Try a Lemon Sour made with shochu, soda water and fresh lemon juice, a Matcha Hai highball, Umeshu (plum wine) and tonic or Red Eye Beer made with tomato juice. Find out why cocktails are one such illustration of the Japanese approach to perfecting a craft.

Cocktail Codex


From the authors of the best-selling and genre-defining cocktail book Death & Co, Cocktail Codex is a comprehensive primer on the craft of mixing drinks that employs the authors' unique "root cocktails" approach to give drink-makers of every level the tools to understand, execute, and improvise both classic and original cocktails. "There are only six cocktails." So say Alex Day, Nick Fauchald, and David Kaplan, the visionaries behind the seminal craft cocktail bar Death & Co. In Cocktail Codex, these experts reveal for the first time their surprisingly simple approach to mastering cocktails: the "root recipes," six easily identifiable (and memorizable!) templates that encompass all cocktails: the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip. Once you understand the hows and whys of each "family," you'll understand why some cocktails work and others don't, when to shake and when to stir, what you can omit and what you can substitute when you're missing ingredients, why you like the drinks you do, and what sorts of drinks you should turn to--or invent--if you want to try something new.

The Seven Moods of Craft Spirits


The second in the “Seven Moods” series, this little guide is destined to become the pocket bible to craft spirits for years to come. Now is the most exciting time for craft spirits. Craft distilling is riding a perfect wave, as consumers look for provenance and heritage, drink less but better, and seek bespoke and original drinks rather than homogenous global brands. Gin distilling has become particularly popular in London, tequila is back in fashion, Cuban rum is making a resurgence, and great whiskies are being created everywhere, from France to Japan, Taiwan to Denmark. Gone are the days of brand loyalty. Instead, drinkers are choosing from a portfolio of drinks to match where they are and what they are doing, from a relaxing gunpowder tea-based gin to a festive spiced rum, and from a contemplative single malt to a fiery absinthe. Brought together in one accessible guide, here are 350 of the world’s most interesting and innovative spirits – whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums, brandies, liqueurs, poteens, tequilas, piscas, schnapps, and brandies/cognacs. Researched and written by leading whisky writer, Dominic Roskrow, each entry includes a specially commissioned drawing, tasting description, strength, distillery information, and spirit type. Each chapter is devoted to seven different moods (Social, Adventurous, Poetic, Bucolic, Contemplative, Gastronomic, Imaginative), and alongside the entries there are numerous useful features on related subjects, including gin and whisky distilleries, spirit bars, whisky festivals, craft distillers, and mixing spirits and food.

Velká kniha o rumu


Jedinečná kniha o rumu, kterou si prostě musíte vychutnat až do dna! Rum – od cukrové třtiny až po degustaci. Rum si podobně jako víno nebo whisky zaslouží ušlechtilá slova. Výjimečné aroma, delikátní chuť... tento úžasný nektar se degustuje stejně jako velká vína. A navzdory tomu, co si mnozí myslí, jediným domovem tohoto moku není Karibik. Od Karibiku přes Latinskou Ameriku a Evropu až po Japonsko – autoři nás vezmou na dobrodružnou cestu za poznáním těch největších značek, známých i méně známých, a otevřou nám dveře do lihovarů, které používají celou škálu výrobních metod, od těch tradičních až po ty nejmodernější. Pokud k rumu chováte alespoň částečné sympatie, určitě víte, že aroma tohoto výjimečného nápoje se nejlépe rozvine v menších sklenicích na malé stopce ve tvaru tulipánu, podobné té, z níž se ve Španělku popíjí sherry. Možná ale netušíte, že na světě existuje 16 000 různých druhů rumu a rozmanitost jejich chutí nezná mezí. Ovšem existují jen dvě hlavní variety – rum vyrobený z melasy, což je to, co zbyde při zpracování cukrové třtiny, a rum z čerstvé třtinové šťávy. Ten první je zpravidla sladší a těžší, jeho aroma často připomíná hrozinky, čokoládu, karamel nebo přezrálé banány. Ten druhý je svěžejší, jemnější a má svůj specifický charakter. Rum je také považován za nápoj pirátů. Nejznámější z nich, tedy pokud necháme stranou filmového Jacka Sparrowa, byl nepochybně Henry Morgan, který dal jméno asi nejznámějšímu rumu u nás Captain Morgan. A stejně jako kdysi piráti se i vy nyní můžete vydat na cestu kolem světa – se skleničkou v jedné ruce a naší knihou v ruce druhé. Je libo kubánský Havana club, Doorly‘s z Barbadosu, Angosturu z Trinité, Appleton z Jamajky, Centenario z Kostariky nebo Diplomático z Venezuely? Ještě váháte? Není třeba, s kvalitním doutníkem a skleničkou výborného rumu se vám svět bude zdát krásnější. Přece znáte to staré americké přísloví, které praví, že střízlivost je úžasná věc…, pokud se užívá s mírou.
