Lew Bryson has an easy conversational style and touches on the aspects that make whisky from Scotland different than that from Ireland, Japan, Canada and the United States as well as what some of the craft distillers are getting up, tramping through the path laid out by the explosion of craft brewers. As managing editor for Whisky Advocate he's afforded a rich perspective. I mean you could just drink whisky without a second thought to how it's produced, the generations of effort and the many, minute factors that make each tipple unique - but it tastes that much better if you're armed with a little bit of knowledge. Cheers!
