Whiskey Business by Tom Acitelli
Discover the underdog story of the improbable rise of small-batch distilling in America. This bracingly written, fast-paced work traces the relationship of Americans to spirits such as bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, and rum. And it presents the full story of a plucky band of entrepreneurs who disrupted the nation's conception of how those libations could appear and taste-and how much they could cost. Tom Acitelli weaves the unlikely triumph of the small-batch distilling movement into other major trends, including a neo-Prohibitionism that nearly croaked the entire thing, America's re-embrace of cocktails, and the twin rises of craft beer and fine wine. He also expertly delves into the controversies currently wracking American spirits, ones that threaten to tank the movement at the moment of what should be its greatest triumph.American Wine: A Coming-of-Age Tale by Tom Acitelli was a James Beard Award finalist for Best Book of 2016. In addition, he is the author of The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution, which is currently in its second edition. He contributes to several magazines on beer, wine, and spirits, and is the history columnist for All About Beer magazine.
