CANADIAN WHISKY
The Portable Expert
DAVIN DE KERGOMMEAUX

“This is an important time for Canadian whisky and this is an important book which isn’t just a story of a drink, but a story of Canada itself..”
–Dave Broom, author of The World Atlas of Whisky

Davin de Kergommeaux takes readers on a journey through the first systematic presentation of Canadian whisky: how it’s made, who makes it, why it tastes the way it does, its history, and the rich, centuries-old folklore surrounding it.

Join whisky authority Davin de Kergommeaux on a pan-Canadian journey from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, celebrating the diversity of Canada’s unique spirit. With his conversational and accessible tutelage, de Kergommeaux offers readers a carefully researched, reliable, and authoritative guide to Canadian whisky that is, quite simply, not available anywhere else. Not only a book describing the history and culture of the spirit, Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert is also an informed exploration of taste. For the first time, whisky consumers — experts and novices alike — can approach Canadian whisky with a connoisseur’s appreciation of its rich subtleties.

“de Kergommeaux’s book isn’t just important, it’s a game changer, bringing to life an extraordinary and evolving whisky industry.”
–Dominic Roskrow, author of The World’s Best Whiskies and 1001 Whiskies to Try Before You Die
