Distillation is as close as mankind has come to alchemy: turning everything from the humble potato to run-of-the-mill corn into glorious liquor. But there`s nothing like industrialisation to suck the soul out of a process % &, with their vast column stills & bulk-buy mentality, that is exactly what the spirit-industry behemoths have managed to do. Cue the micro-distiller
- a new breed of artisan producer reigniting our love of spirits & making drinks of quality rather than quantity. Artisan spirits can not only taste better, but each microdistiller has a tale to tell about the ingredients or the dream that led them to lovingly coax each drop of spirit from still to bottle. & we all love a good story. In ” Craft Spirit World”, over 100 of the best examples on the market of gin, vodka, rum, whisky, bourbon, cognac & more are revealed, coming from producers dotted across the globe
- from New Zealand & South Africa to Scotl&, Italy, Canada & the United States. Each entry then covers the history behind the drink, where to get it &, most importantly, what it tastes like.
