Davin de Kergommeaux takes readers on a journey through the first systematic presentation of Canadian whisky: how it's made, who makes it, why it has its own unique flavours, its history, culture and the rich centuries of folklore surrounding it. With his conversational and accessible style, Kergommeaux offers an expertly researched, reliable and authoritative guide to Canadian whisky that is not available elsewhere. Canadian Whisky is an informed exploration of taste for experts and novices alike.

Review:

- "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"
