Joel Harrison will travel for whiskey-and he thinks you should, too. In a career spanning nearly two decades, the British native has become an award-winning author on the drink and has visited well over 250 producers across the globe....His latest tome is a compelling read and makes a great gift for the whisk(e)y lovers in your life this holiday season.
Harrison's writing excels when it shines a spotlight on new territories. Taiwan is presented as an improbable success story: hot climate, rapid maturation, Kavalan elbowing its way into award shows and rattling the establishment...You can taste along, lining up bottles from Speyside to Suntory, though your bank account may take exception to this idea. It's the kind of book that allows readers to imagine themselves in a windswept Scottish warehouse one moment and a gleaming Taiwanese stillhouse the next.
