ill., ril. "Chi dice di non amare il whisky semplicemente non ha ancora scoperto quello che gli va a genio". Queste le parole di Georges, il fantomatico nonno dell'autore, Mickaël Guidot, che ha fatto nascere la sua passione per il whisky e che l'ha ispirato nella realizzazione del blog ForGeorges, a lui intitolato. Ed è proprio questo che il libro intende dimostrare, mettendo a tacere i luoghi comuni che circolano intorno al prezioso distillato e svelandone i segreti con uno stile ironico e grazie a un nutrito apparato di illustrazioni. Dalle tecniche di distilleria alla degustazione, dai consigli per l'acquisto agli abbinamenti, senza tralasciare le ricette per i cocktail e un piccolo tour del mondo a base di whisky: ecco tutto quello che vi serve sapere per diventare "veri intenditori".
ill., ril. Tra i più apprezzati liquori al mondo, il whisky vanta una lunghissima storia, un'antichissima tradizione e una vera e propria cultura, capace nei secoli di catturare moltissimi appassionati. Questo volume ne ripercorre l'intero processo di produzione - dalla selezione del malto alla scelta dei barili, dalla distillazione all'imbottigliamento - e saprà incantare cultori e collezionisti attraverso una selezione delle bottiglie più preziose e delle varietà più pregiate. Completa il volume una selezione di ricette e di cocktail per assaporare a pieno il variegato mondo del whisky.
