Description: Every bartender must know each and every ingredient behind the bar and Spirits Distilled by Mark Ridgwell is a comprehensive guide to all of the major spirits categories. Taking the reader through the principles of distillation to a discussion on how to taste spirits, Ridgwell reveals the history and legends behind vodka, gin, tequila, genever, rum, brandies, liqueurs, eaux-de-vie, flavoured white spirits and the entire range of whiskeys. Lovers of spirits will find this book to be an invaluable resource for understanding and appreciating the world of spirits from a qualitative rather than quan.
