I’ve written dozens of travel guides over the years, before I started writing about spirits. But my spirits books are now slowly building, so check them out:
Cask Strength: The Story of the Barrel, the Secret Ingredient in Your Drink. I’ve written a full page about this book, including a few extracts. Go to my Cask Strength page.
Bourbon for Beginners. I thought I’d put together what I’ve learned about bourbon over the last few years, to help other people just starting to discover the USA’s favorite whiskey. You can find it on Amazon, for the Kindle and as a paperback.
Islay Distilled. This is the first in my series of Spirited Travel Guides. It’s a regular travel guide to Islay and its attractions, useful for any visitor, but it’s tailored to people who have an interest in the island’s spirits, so plenty of extra information on distillery visits, and which hotels, bars, and restaurants have the best whisky collections.
Cognac (and Jarnac) Distilled. The second in my series of Spirited Travel Guides covers the neighboring French towns of Cognac and Jarnac, where most of the world’s leading cognac brands have their distilleries. The guide covers everything the regular visitor would want to know, like what to see and do, where to stay, and where to eat but there’s extra information on distillery visits, and which hotels, bars, and restaurants have the best cognac collections.
