99 Drams of Whiskey: The Accidental Hedonist’s Quest for the Perfect Shot and the History of the Drink (Hardcover)
Kate Hopkins
It didn’t get the best of reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, but it’s a lovely stroll through three whiskey regions. I’m about half way through and finding it quite enjoyable. But, then again, I like my whiskey. I also like knowing about the history of taxation and it’s role in how whiskey is made.
Turns out she is also a local Seattle author. I picked it up on the remainders rack at Compass Books in the San Francisco airport.

Click on the book and it will take you right to Amazon, and I get a few shekels for mentioning it.
Other than that, a quiet evening at home having a steak and some coleslaw. Nice not to have to rush off for some folkloric performance.
