Description

Kate Hopkins knew there had to be more to whiskey than using it as a mixer with Sunny Delight. She had an unquenchable thirst to learn more about "the drink" and, accompanied by her friend Krysta, set out on an ambitious itinerary through Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the U.S. researching its history and sampling as many drams as possible along the way. Hopkins visited historians and pub owners, went to distilleries and tasting rooms, and interviewed the aficionados and the common drinkers, all in pursuit of stories about whiskey. The result is a fun and engaging travelogue in search of the perfect shot.

Reviews

"99 DRAMS OF WHISKEY is part travelogue, part distillery guide, and part history book. It is deeply personal, and told in Kate Hopkins humorous, engaging, and inimitable style." Kevin Erskine, author of the Instant Expert's Guide To Single Malt Scotch"
