Reviews for American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye: A Guide to the Nation's Favorite Spirit

Praise for American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye A comprehensive and opinionated guide for the intermediate tippler . . . It s a detailed, admirably cranky directory. Risen s tasting notes for each are erudite and fun. Wall Street Journal Risen is something of a Renaissance man . . . a Leonardo da Vinci of whiskey. American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye . . . should have a proud place on the bookshelf (or by the bar) of anyone who is an enthusiast of bourbon and other American whiskeys. Very useful for shopping purposes . . . Bring this book with you. Los Angeles Review of Books Risen delicately walks readers into whiskey s past, present, and future. . . . His words are meant for whiskey lovers, as he dissects every brand s story and scores products on an NR (not recommended) to four-star scale. An American whiskey treasure worthy of four stars. Whiskey Advocate A whiskey novice s best friend . . . It s a book I plan on keeping around for constant reference. Saveur
