A gift for a real man (set of 3 books)

Everything you need to know about whiskey. This is a book for everyone who loves whiskey. Its reader does not need to be a great expert - far from it! — but even the most passionate and knowledgeable fans will... discover a lot of new things (or rethink what they already know). We will figure out where the taste of whiskey comes from: is it in production or in aging? What is the wood used to age whiskey and what is its significance? How does the whiskey world work outside of Scotland? Is there a concept of terroir in the context of whiskey? Let's look at the role whiskey played in different countries and among different peoples, and find out what impact it had on the social and cultural life of people. We explore the importance of blends and how they brought whiskey to the masses, making it the global power it is today. We'll look at the collapse and revival of Irish whiskey, Prohibition in the US, changes in drinking habits, the rise of single malts and examples from around the world. And one more important aspect: among other things, whiskey is a story about people, about those who, more than 500 years ago, created a drink that in Latin was called aqua vitae, or “water of life”, became the Gaelic word uisqe-beatha, and then has successfully become something that pleases millions of admirers around the world - whiskey.
