I had two new spirit book reviews published in the Winter issue of Distiller Magazine.

Fire Water

Darek Bell, front man for Corsair distillery has pulled together a significant amount of research on how to smoke grains for whiskey and affects of different types of smoke sources on the aroma, flavor and finish of a whiskey. My full review of Fire Water: Experimental Smoked Malts and Whiskeys can be read in the online version of Distiller Magazine.

The book can be purchased online through amazon.

Proof

Adam Rogers wrote a entertaining and thorough look at the science of booze. From fermentation to the science of a hangover, Proof: The Science of Booze is a fascinating look at our current understanding of the affects of alcohol on our environment, our cultures and our bodies. My full review can be read in the online version of Distiller Magazine.

The book can be purchased online through amazon.
