Lew Bryson
About this listen
Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been one of the most influential voices in whiskey. In Whiskey Master Class, Lew shares everything he's learned on his journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys!). In this book, you'll find:
- An overview of the different types of whiskeys, including the rules and identities of each. He also includes information on craft whiskeys, which tend to be more creative and freewheeling than the styles made by traditional producers.
- Exploration of the key whiskey ingredients, with a close look at the flavor contributions of malt, peat, corn, rye, wheat-even water matters.
- Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills, barrel char, and of course, time.
- Numerous interviews with master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of their field.
- Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the whiskeys you might want to try next.
You'll want to do the homework with whiskey as the subject!

Brilliant from beginning to end.
From word one to the last word I was gripped by all aspects of this account of whiskey. Informative, gripping, and wonderfully explained bringing the world of whiskey to life.

Simply Brilliant
I’m currently researching for a book I’m writing that involves, Scotland, photography and snippets regarding Scotch whisky.
It has been invaluable helping me to understand the culture surrounding whisky as a subject.
Sláinte!

Inspiring
As a whisky craft distiller in Belgium, this book tells me a lot of how whisky lovers can look at our products in several ways. But we only make whisky to enjoy people, get them together and have the time of their live by just enjoying the moment. Great book! Love it!

Enjoyable and very informative
Loved every minute of this audio book. Not knowing much about Bourbon and Rye as an English man who is on a whisky journey.
Appreciated all the interesting detail and the differences between the regional whisk(e)y and how they are made. I will definitely start to get in to blind tasting though as a great way to improve my knowledge and experience dissecting flavours .
Just bought a bottle of Wild Turkey rare breed online and I'm looking forward to it after finishing this book .
thanks again

Fantastic from start to finish
A fascinating and entertaining journey through all things whisky (or whiskey!). Superbly entertaining with plenty of detail to help you really learn about the subject - but delivered in short bites to keep you engaged.
Cannot recommend it highly enough. I’m certain I’ll listed to this more than once.

master class worthy
interesting book about whiskey. not a fan of whiskey, specifically, but the book was still fascinating.
now i know what "angel's share" is, that “whiskey slumbers”, that there’s “accelerated aging” for whiskey, that caramel can be used to change colour and can make the whiskey appear older, and that a bottle of whiskey should be finished within 6 months after opening to not lose the flavour and to “do your whiskey a favour”. definitely levelled up in my knowledge.
interesting book, with detailed information on the topic. master class worthy.
