Congrats to Michelle Wrick! You’re our winner!
Whiskey continues to enjoy a surge in popularity, with people from all walks of life indulging in their love affair with the world’s most popular spirit. No other spirit inspires as much passion as whiskey, and there’s no better guide to it than Tasting Whiskey, written by Whisky Advocate managing editor (and Newtown resident) Lew Bryson.
Industry insider Bryson spent the last 20 years immersed in the world of whiskey (lucky guy, right?)—traveling the world to write about it, drink it and learn from those who make, sell, drink and collect it. In Tasting Whiskey, he shares his passion for whiskey in a fun, approachable guide designed to enrich and educate as you embark on your own whiskey journey.
Tasting Whiskey maps whiskey styles, profiling each of the major types of whiskey, discussing their differences, exploring how and where they are made and describing their unique flavors. Learn about the process of tasting and how to collect and age whiskey, and spice up your next dinner party with cocktail recipes and suggestions for food and whiskey pairings.
Bryson will launch his book with several events in Philadelphia and Lancaster in the weeks ahead. Meet the author on the following dates:
Friday, October 24, 6–9 p.m.: The Trestle Inn, 339 N. 11th St., Philadelphia
Saturday, October 25, 2:30–4:30 p.m.: Franklin & Marshall College Bookstore, Race Ave., Lancaster
