While Noah Rothbaum has tackled the vast subject of whiskey many times and on many platforms, he has finally encompassed his life’s work into one monumental volume. “The Whiskey Bible, A Complete Guide to the World’s Greatest Spirit” (Workman) is one of those books that if you have only one or two on the subject, this could be one of them. From whiskey’s simple origins to its crafted and complex role in the world today, Mr. Rothbaum threads it all together in a concise and most importantly, memorable and enjoyable read.
In seemingly every chapter a long standing “frequently asked question” is tackled at length and without fear of rocking the preverbal boat. Global brands’ back stories, folklore, the names of contributors to the history (fiction and non), surprising successes and disappointing innovations, are all covered here. There is even a significant section on whiskey-driven cocktails to give the reader…
A staggeringly comprehensive, entertaining, and approachable deep dive into the world of whiskey.
The Whiskey Bible is a user's guide to all things whiskey (including, Scotch, Bourbon, Rye, single malts, and blends).

Presented in a graphic novel format, one can be easily fooled into thinking that “The Comic Book History of The Cocktail” by David Wondrich (and impressively illustrated by Dean Kotz), is simply a whimsical and fast pass through the history of cocktails. In just a few pages though, the reader becomes aware that they are also being served a concise and thoughtful look at the long, and somewhat complicated past of the cocktail and its culture.
The tone is fun and conversational as David does an incredible job choosing what to include in such a wide-ranging, global and centuries spanning subject matter. As someone who has done his fair share of documenting cocktails and their full and moving-target history, I would not have wanted to be tasked with selecting which stories to include and which to omit. On this note alone, David deserves high praise and even more as he…
A graphic novel history of the cocktail—from prehistoric wassail to our current boozy renaissance—featuring 20 recipes by drinks historian, Daily Beast columnist, and award-winning author David Wondrich.
There's no better writer to tell the colorful history of cocktails than David Wondrich, widely considered to be one of the world's foremost authorities on cocktails and a driving force behind the early-twenty-first-century revival in the classic American art of mixing drinks.
In The Comic Book Story of the Cocktail, Wondrich teams up with comics artist Dean Kotz to trace the evolution of the cocktail. Beginning with the ancient days of wassail and…
