"Bourbon Curious is a straight shot of smarts about America's
whiskey, served up by bourbon's best friend, Fred Minnick." - Lew
Bryson, author of Tasting Whiskey: An Insider's Guide to the Unique
Pleasures of the World's Finest Spirits"In August, best-selling
Louisville author Fred Minnick published "Bourbon Curious: A Simple
Tasting Guide for the Savvy Drinker," in which he uses tasting
principles to help readers select bourbons based on their flavor
preferences. Yes, the book is educational. But it'll never feel
like homework." - Courier Journal
"A truly enlightened bourbon drinker needs a guide to enhance the
process of sipping and appreciating every nuance of America's
native spirit. Here it is. Bourbon Curious provides an interactive
tasting journey to help consumers understand their palates and
determine their preferred flavors. Bourbon Curious is filled with
the information that will up the game for even the most experienced
bourbon drinker." - The Sommelier Journal"If you've got a family
member or friend who loves bourbon, this book is "must have" in a
wine and spirits library. It's also a "must have" book for anyone
studying for her of his Master Sommelier's test."
-Wine-Blog.org
"Fred Minnick is my favorite spirits writer because he is
knowledgeable, writes beautifully, and turns what could be a screed
of dull tasting notes into an insightful discussion of the
exploding world of a "brown liquor" that even ten years ago seemed
poised to be relegated to redneck bars and juleps once a year on
Derby Day. He spends nearly 100 pages giving you the history, the
lore, the legal limits, and exposes much of the nonsense spread by
producers about the confusing myriad single, small, ultra-rare
bottlings with special treatment in casks coming out of Kentucky on
a seasonal basis. Trust Minnick to steer you to the best of them."
- Huffington Post"The world has been waiting for this book." -
Jeffrey Morgenthaler, author of The Bar Book: Elements of Cocktail
Technique"Contrary to its title, BOURBON Curious, A Simple Tasting
Guide for the Savvy Drinker is far from simple. It's clear the
author, FRED MINNICK, professional taster, judge, and
self-proclaimed "bourbon geek" knows Bourbon - History,
Ingredients, Who, What, When, Where, Why of making, selling,
tasting, judging - and he shares his wisdom with details and humor.
This book will appeal to history buffs and connoisseurs as it
contains a plethora of interesting and vetted facts. It's truly
everything you wanted to know about Bourbon but didn't know who or
what to ask." -Examiner.com
