Do you know what''s in your drink? Which grains go into your favorite Bourbon? What makes an artisanal Tequila? Or why molasses-based rum is so different in flavor from its sugarcane juice counterpart?

In âSpirits Distilled, San Francisco World Spirits judge and spirits educator Nat Harry travels the world from Oaxaca and Islay to Okinawa and Louisville to showcase elixirs from the ground up¾from the raw ingredients and skilled hands that form the backbone of the worldâs most popular (and underappreciated) spirits. Filled with maps, photos, infographics, and bottle and cocktail recommendations.

Industry Reviews

"A book that is both as detailed and geeky--informative for fellow experts like me in the industry--as it is approachable and digestible to novices and the average spirits drinker. Helpful graphs and breakdowns keep it fun, while categorizing by ingredient is an approach that reminds us all how important it is to know what goes into a bottle, just as we want to know what's in the food we eat. I particularly love chapters on fruits that go into underrepresented fruit brandy/eaux de vie, alongside the likes of sugar cane, agave, grapes and barley. Nat has blessedly written a drink book we didn't yet have--and needed." --VIRGINIA MILLER, Dining/Spirits/Cocktail/Wine Writer and Judge, Founder of The Perfect Spot
