Kings County Distillery Guide to Urban Moonshining

Description

A new generation of urban bootleggers is distilling whiskey at home, and
cocktail enthusiasts have embraced the nuances of brown liquors. Written by
the founders of Kings County Distillery, New York City’s first distillery
since Prohibition, this spirited illustrated book explores America’s age-old
love affair with whiskey. It begins with chapters on whiskey’s history and
culture from 1640 to today, when the DIY trend and the classic cocktail craze
have conspired to make it the next big thing. For those thirsty for practical
information, the book next provides a detailed, easy-to-follow guide to safe
home distilling, complete with a list of supplies, step-by-step instructions,
and helpful pictures, anecdotes, and tips. The final section focuses on the
contemporary whiskey scene, featuring a list of microdistillers, cocktail and
food recipes from the country’s hottest mixologists and chefs, and an
opinionated guide to building your own whiskey collection. Read more Read less
