Award-winning
whiskey writer and best-selling author Fred Minnick presents an
easy-to-read interactive tasting journey that helps you select
barrel-aged bourbons based on your flavor preferences. "The world has
been waiting for this book." --Jeffrey Morganthaler, author of The Bar
Book and Drinking Distilled In this updated edition of Bourbon Curious: A
Tasting Guide for the Savvy Drinker -- using the same tasting
principles he offers in his Kentucky Derby Museum classes and as a judge
at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition--Minnick cuts to the
chase, dismissing brand marketing and judging only the flavor of this
all-American whiskey. Bourbon Curious groups bourbon into four main
flavor profiles--grain, nutmeg, caramel, and cinnamon. While many
bourbons boast all four flavor notes, one delicious sensation typically
overpowers the rest. This book reveals more than 50 bourbon brands'
predominate tastes and suggests cocktail recipes to complement them . In
addition, Minnick spends some time busting bourbon's myths ; unraveling
its mysteries; and exploring distiller secrets , disclosing the recipes
you won't find on a bottle's label. This updated edition contains all
the best new bourbons and revised tasting notes on any bourbons that
have undergone a substantial change since the original edition. And like
good-tasting bourbon, Bourbon Curious is approachable to all!
