English Whisky (English edition): The Journey from Grain to Glass by Ted Bruning & Rupert Wheeler

The book English Whisky: The Journey from Grain to Glass, by Ted Bruning and Rupert Wheeler, traces the spectacular rise of English whisky over the past decades. While Scotland was historically the undisputed leader in whisky production, England is now on the verge of becoming a serious player in the global market. This exciting book tells the story of how the English whisky industry took off about 20 years ago, driven by distilleries like the English Whisky Company. Since then, English distilleries, whether large-scale or micro-distilleries, have been pushing the boundaries of taste by experimenting with different grains, such as rye and barley, and experimenting with new forms of stills.

The book also examines the growing importance of sustainability in whisky production, the use of peat and oak, as well as the rise of high-end tourism. Visitors now flock to England's distilleries, from Cornwall to Cumbria, to learn more about the art of distillation.

Bruning and Wheeler offer us a detailed analysis of nearly 40 English distilleries, describing their production methods and providing tasting notes on the flagship whiskies already marketed. This exploration of the renaissance of whisky in England will delight both whisky enthusiasts and novices, offering a comprehensive overview of the modern industry.

The book covers topics such as:

• The rise of English whisky initiated only 20 years ago
• The competition between rye and barley as preferred grains
• The importance of sustainability in modern distilleries
• The role of tourism in the growing popularity of English whisky

This work is a must-have for any whisky lover wanting to discover a new facet of this spirit through the world-renowned English distilleries.
