The Craft of Whiskey Distilling by Bill

Owens, American Distilling Institute

"A barrel a week is all we ask"

A year in the making, The Craft of Whiskey

Distilling book is designed for the start-up

distiller. The book contains step-by-step

instructions on using an artisan still to

produce a barrel of whiskey a week. Most

important, it has a spreadsheet that will

help the reader develop a business plan to

build a distillery and to get a distiller's

license (DSP). The book also includes an

index of websites and recommended reading. It

also contains government mandatory labeling

rules or CFRs that define some 34 different

whiskey recipes. At the end, there's a quiz

to prove you really read the book.

Nice idea, though at $110 for the book I think I'll have to wait for a while or perhaps purchase it with a couple friends and share the expense. At $45 I'd have bought it today. Then again that's me.

I purchased the book and have found it valuable. If you use the book to help design your distillery, or your business plan, then the cost is really not very much. It has more than $110 worth of consulting in it. But if you are looking for a highly-edited table-top book on whiskey, you will be disappointed. This book is seems to be specifically written for the micro-distiller who is in the early phase of planning a whiskey distillery. A narrow audience, but one that should probably buy this book.

I also have a copy and found it very useful in keeping it simple and I do subscribe to that line of thinking. I have read it twice and learned a lot. It definetely targets a specific audience, I am in there though. In the paper back it would be great too, I just wouldn't want to cheapen the spot on my shelf,lol. I want to get it signed though Bill, raises the value..

In great spirits,

Mine is on order and will be read during our next Nor'easter, Montreal Express, or whichever storm next dumps a foot of snow on us.

By the way, to ensure value for you dollar, have the author sign your copy. Every home library should have a volume signed by a 1976 Guggenheim Fellow.

When you can, pour yourself a heavy dram and check out his work. "Suburbia" showed me where I was at when 22.

Holiday cheers to all,

A fine point.

And, just how does one get a book signed?

Am I going to have to travel (not a terrible idea, by the way)?
