A friend and longtime Kentucky resident got me hooked on Four Roses bourbon and this is the book I turned to in order to learn more and educate myself on the fine points of good bourbon. Cowdery does a great job of explaining bourbon to a neophyte and his down to earth style is very engaging. He recognizes that taste and preference is a personal thing and provides the reader with methods to measure what they like about a particular bottle and apply that to finding others that suit their taste.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in bourbon and wants to learn more about their history, production, major industry players and some good rules of thumb for finding bottles and brands you like.
