Editors Bill Owens and Alan Dikty, with a foreword from Anchor Distilling’s Fritz Maytag, take readers behind the scenes of small-batch distilling, tracing how water and grain become whiskey, gin, vodka, and brandy.
Rather than a technical how-to, it’s an insider’s tour of the craft, with a chapter devoted to each major spirit, profiles of working distillers, and Owens’ own photography from two cross-country road trips through America’s microdistilleries.
