Some could argue that Bartenders make drinks, while “Mixologists” have a fuller understanding of the history of spirits, flavor profiles and how to best serve them. Mixologists create innovation in cocktails and culture; while remembering the past. Regardless of what you call yourself, there is a need for greater understanding. This is not a recipe book or bartender “how to”. However, this is a guide to the world of Whisky and Whiskey. Ever wondered which spelling is correct…? Both! This book is for those who claim that Bourbon is only from Kentucky. Wrong! Or for those who want to know how a cigar is made, sizes, flavors and how to cut them. What’s the difference between Cognac & Armagnac? Now you’ll know. Can I pair food with Scotch? Now you’ll know. Which Spirit goes with my cigar? Now you’ll know.
This book gives the standards of Scotch, Irish, American, and Canadian Whiskies, Brandy [Cognac] & Cigars, accompanied by their history, production methods, variances of the product, definitions, flavor profiles and how to pair them with various foods or other spirits.

A strong understanding of each product is needed to be well-rounded in the hospitality industry, no matter what you call yourself. Here we explain, clearly & concisely, all that’s needed to fully understand these types of Spirits & Cigars; and how to serve them properly.
For those not in the bar or restaurant field, we’ll give you a solid understanding to make the best selection for personal preference or learn how to pair a Whiskey or Brandy with food or cigars.
