2019 BEST NEW BOOK FINALIST -- Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards
This is not your ordinary whiskey book, it's a collection of ingenious ideas and shortcuts to help you temper your whiskey to greatness in the privacy of your own home. Aaron Goldfarb, a whiskey geek (and writer), is reporting from the field, where he's gathered tips, recipes, and insider secrets about the weird yet delightful ways in which whiskey is being used today. Things like making cheap homemade blends that taste fancy, infusing whiskey with marijuana smoke, adding it to infinity bottles, and doing bone marrow luge shots, to name a few. So get your hands wet (and your house smoky) and take him up on the challenge of upgrading your whiskey (just don't forget to brag about it online).
Review
"Nearly blasphemous
--but enough fun that it can be forgiven."

"If you're worried that you--or someone you know--are becoming a whisky snob, this book should cure you pretty quickly." -Whisky Advocate
"Some people consider putting expensive whiskey to waste a crime against humanity. Others think it's good for a laugh." -Esquire
"For the serious home mixologist." -Town & Country
"Aaron Goldfarb is a whiskey lover, certainly, but he's not a whiskey lover the way your dad or snooty friend are whiskey lovers, hoarding their favorite bottles, drinking everything neat, turning their nose up at the mere suggestion of a cocktail. To him, whiskey is not sacrosanct; it's just booze." -
