Book excerpt: The story of the unsung hero of the world of spirits, wine, and beer and an invention as ancient and important as the wheel—the humble barrel. Without the barrel, we would have no bourbon, no oak-aged chardonnay, no barrel-aged stouts . . . and no tabasco sauce, either. From its first use by the Ancient Egyptians, the barrel has left an unmistakable imprint on human history. The Romans used it in all corners of their vast empire, and explorers could not have charted the globe or opened up trade routes without them to store their food and water. And in all its thousands of years of use, the barrel’s basic design has barely changed at all—a testament to its sheer and simple perfection. Cask Strength is more than a history book. In it, Mike Gerrard, an award-winning travel and drinks writer, investigates the making, buying, and selling of barrels and details how drinks like wine, tequila, rum, cognac, and others are enhanced by specific kinds of barrel production. Modern distillers, brewers, and wine-makers continue to use them in new, creative ways—with the barrel providing up to 60-70% of their flavors. Gerrard’s expertise and palpable passion for beverages will ignite the curiosities of booze fans and history buffs alike as Cask Strength traces the simple splendor of the barrel.

Book excerpt: “The second book in the Agents Irish and Whiskey series is a romp of an M/M romantic suspense”—from the author of Single Malt (RT Book Reviews). Professionally, the FBI team of Aidan “Irish” Talley and Jameson “Whiskey” Walker is as good as it gets, closing cases faster than any team at the Bureau. Personally, it’s a different story. Aidan’s feelings for Jamie scare the hell out of him: he won’t risk losing another love no matter how heart-tripping the intimacy between them. And loss is a grim reality with the terrorist Renaud still on their trail, leaving a pile of bodies in his wake. Going undercover on a new case gets them out of town and off the killer’s radar. They’re assigned to investigate an identity theft ring involving a college basketball team in Jamie’s home state, where Jamie’s past makes him perfect for the role of coach. But returning to the court brings more than old memories. As secrets and shocking betrayals abound, none may be more dangerous than the one Jamie’s been keeping: a secret about the death of Aidan’s husband that could blow his partner’s world apart and destroy forever the fragile bonds of trust and love building between them. Praise for Single Malt “Full of explosive chemistry, captivating characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense. A must read for any romantic suspense fan!” —Megan Erickson, USA Today–bestselling author “Sexy, smart and suspenseful—this book has it all.” —HelenKay Dimon, author of Guarding Mr. Fine “This book had a bit of everything for me—romance, suspense, intrigue, dirty dealings, love lost, love gained, family, heartache—it’s all here.” —The Romance Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greetings, fellow seekers of the agave's elixir, As I set out to unravel the stories and mystique that lie behind each pour, "Sipping on Tentacion: The Allure of Tequila Unveiled" beckons us into a realm where passion meets liquid poetry. Inspired by the vision and fervor of a true tequila enthusiast, Shawn Roten, whose soon-to-be tequila haven in Edmonds, Washington, named "Tentacion," awaits its moment of unveiling. In the heart of Edmonds, where the sea breeze whispers tales of distant lands, Shawn's imminent establishment, Tentacion, promises to be more than a bar—it is poised to be a sanctuary for tequila lovers. I am inspired by Shawn's love affair with tequila, a romance that transcends the confines of a glass and spills into the very essence of his forthcoming establishment. "Sipping on Tentacion" is not just a journey through the rich tapestry of tequila; it's a narrative woven with threads of passion, discovery, and the anticipation of moments yet to unfold. Shawn, a maestro in the art of tequila, is not merely opening a bar; he is extending an invitation to savor the allure of a spirit that has been embraced by cultures, celebrated in rituals, and shared in the company of friends. As we navigate through the pages of this odyssey, guided by the impending existence of Tentacion, we'll explore the agave-laden fields of Jalisco, where the heart of tequila beats in harmony with the land. We'll venture into the distilleries, where the alchemy of tradition and innovation fashions tequila into an art form. It is within these pages that the essence of Tentacion and Shawn's love for tequila come to life—a testament to the anticipation that surrounds the creation of a space dedicated to the allure of this remarkable spirit. Join me on this journey, where the love for tequila intertwines with the dreams of a tequila haven called Tentacion. May "Sipping on Tentacion" be a companion to your own explorations, a guide to the flavors that dance upon your palate, and a celebration of the moments when the allure of tequila is most captivating. Here's to the imminent unveiling of Tentacion and the boundless allure of tequila, Salud,

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intrepid Kathleen Purvis traveled extensively throughout the South to create this first-ever guide to the region's burgeoning craft-liquor movement, capturing her journey in the creation of six original Liquor Trails. As fascinating as the craft itself are the distillers' experiences and backstories. Purvis chronicles them with verve and insight, bringing her knowledge of southern foodways and traditions to bear on the flourishing of the distiller's art. She shows how new entrepreneurs, part of the all-American food and drink renaissance, are positioning themselves to find both the inspiration and land ranging from West Virginia to Louisiana for their farm- or farm-ingredients-based distilleries. They are creating new and sought-after bourbons, whiskies, rums, gins, and much more. Their cordials are flavored with pumpkins, raspberries, peaches, and other local products; not long ago, a West Virginian's black walnut liqueur won the prize for the best nut cordial at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Driven by legacy and passion, today's distillers are creating a new southern tradition--one that you can now explore with an inimitable writer. Each Liquor Trail covers one or several states and features particularly worthy distilleries that Purvis has personally selected. The trails also feature maps, a complete listing of distilleries in each territory, on-site photographs, and some dynamite drink recipes direct from the distillers.

Book excerpt: Irish single pot still whiskey has a romantic mystique for many whiskey critics because of its tragic history as the ‘lost sister’ of single malt scotch. Ireland’s history and politics resulted in the near-annihilation of the national drink and there’s an almost eerie beauty to the ‘silent’ distilleries that still dot the Irish countryside. These distilleries inform the aesthetic of the title and, indeed, there is visual poetry in the barrels, pot stills and photogenic amber spirits that convey the Irish whiskey world. Although Irish whiskey is currently the fastest-growing global spirits category and Irish ‘pure pot still’ has long been a favourite drink among whiskey critics and connoisseurs, the existing literature is still surprisingly sparse. This book illustrates the production, history, and appreciation of Irish pot still whiskey and will introduce casual drinkers to the richness of these whiskeys as well as being a collectors’ item for established whiskey connoisseurs.

Book excerpt: Shortly after graduating from University of Glasgow in 1934, Elizabeth “Bessie” Williamson began working as a temporary secretary at the Laphroaig Distillery on the Scottish island Islay. Williamson quickly found herself joining the boys in the tasting room, studying the distillation process, and winning them over with her knowledge of Scottish whisky. After the owner of Laphroaig passed away, Williamson took over the prestigious company and became the American spokesperson for the entire Scotch whisky industry. Impressing clients and showing her passion as the Scotch Whisky Association’s trade ambassador, she soon gained fame within the industry, becoming known as the greatest female distiller. Whiskey Women tells the tales of women who have created this industry, from Mesopotamia’s first beer brewers and distillers to America’s rough-and-tough bootleggers during Prohibition. Women have long distilled, marketed, and owned significant shares in spirits companies. Williamson’s story is one of many among the influential women who changed the Scotch whisky industry as well as influenced the American bourbon whiskey and Irish whiskey markets. Until now their stories have remained untold.
