Whiskey Tasting Guide- Elegancy 101
What words come to mind when you think of whiskey?
Classy. Distinguished. Esteemed. Sophisticated.
If these words don’t describe your experience with this decadent and timeless spirit, then you should brush up on your knowledge base. If you’ve ever wanted to appear cultured and well-informed about the mysteries of whiskey and all its iterations, this book is for you.
Raymond Chandler once said, “There is no bad whiskey. There are only some whiskeys that aren’t as good as others.”
Do you know what good whiskey should taste like? What should it feel like on your tongue? Do you know what its legs are?
When I became of age, I attended a whiskey and wine tasting event held in the college town where I was living at the time. I have to say, it became one of the most embarrassing moments of my life to this day!
I was the “big man” at the party, trying to impress a young lady that I was crushing on at the time. She was a friend of a friend who also happened to be at the same party I was attending (imagine that!).
Not wanting to seem unmanly in front of this lovely woman, I confidently grabbed a highball glass of bourbon, took a long, hard drag on the deep golden brown grog, and subsequently coughed and spurted the spirit straight onto this young lady’s blouse.
Yes. I gagged and coughed the whole serving out, soaking her shirt as she shrieked in terror. If I had ever had teachings on how to properly sip and savor bourbon, this tragedy would not have happened. I would not be haunted to this day with the image of that innocent woman and the horror painted on her face.
This Whiskey Tasting Guide- Elegancy 101 guide will make you sound like a whiskey expert in no time. Impress your friends and colleagues with your whiskey acumen. Be that guy who can spout a “fun fact” all about bourbon. Gain confidence when you order a scotch at the bar – because you’ll finally know how to drink it right!

"The author clearly knows his whisk(e)y, including Bourbon, Tennessee whiskey, scotch and rye. There is clearly a lot of research gone into writing this book. He started his study as a young adult when he tried to impress a young lady by drinking a large shot of bourbon, but choking and spraying her with it. He studied the different types of whiskey, including information on the locale where they are distilled, the way they are made, and how long they are aged for. I learned several things that I didn't know before such as that most whiskey goes through a double-distillation process." - S. Cosmos.

Story
Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.
