Reviews

"This is an important time for Canadian whisky and this is an important book which isn't just a story of a drink, but a story of Canada itself. It makes you want to get a bottle and a glass, pour yourself a stiff one, sit back and dive in. I'd suggest you do exactly that."
--Dave Broom, author of The World Atlas of Whisky
"The Canadian whisky industry has done itself no favours in recent years, content to be perceived as capable of only making bland ryes. Davin de Kergommeaux's book isn't just important, it's a game changer, bringing to life an extraordinary and evolving whisky industry. A proud, insightful beauty of a book."
--Dominic Roskrow, author of The World's Best Whiskies""and 1001 Whiskies to Try Before You Die
"After reading this book, I now understand there's a lot more of this spirit to explore, and de Kergommeaux has me excited to do so."
--Jason Wilson, spirits columnist, "the Washington Post" and author of Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits
"This is the book Canadian whisky has long needed and richly deserves. Detailed, authoritative, and well-written, it debunks myths and sets records straight with grace and aplomb. There is no guessing, no speculation, and no producer hype, just facts, clearly and patiently explained. I'm delighted that we now have this tremendous resource."
--Charles K. Cowdery, author of Bourbon, Straight
"While much has been written about other world whiskies, Canada's national spirit has always been left in the shadows - until now. Davin has brilliantly captured Canada's true spirit. He takes the reader on an engaging and informative journey of discovery, revealing the art, science, history, and passion of the whisky men behind Canada's iconic elixir. Just like Canadian whisky itself, Davin's book will leave you thirsting for another."
--John K. Hall, Whisky Maker, Forty Creek Whisky, Ontario
