Distilled, a cracking book which explores and explains spirits found far and wide, from Gin to Mezcal, Whisky to Shochu, Cognac to Cocktail Bitters and more. This handsome tome features descriptions of the spirits, their histories, oodles of facts about production and flavour profiles, as well as interviews with "mavericks" making intriguing choices within their spirit categories, all excellently written with wit, charm and expertise by the truckload. A fantastic guide to the world of spirits, which shows it's not all magic.
