Description
<p>In <i>Canadian Spirits</i>, bestselling author Stephen Beaumont (<i>The World Atlas of Beer</i>) and National Magazine Award-winning author Christine Sismondo (<i>America Walks into a Bar</i>) crisscross the country in search of the best whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums, and other assorted and sometimes oddball spirits produced by Canada’s large- and small-scale distillers. Along the way, they trace Canada’s fascinating distilling history, from its humble and quasi-legal beginnings to the dynamic and internationally recognized industry it is today. </p>
<p>Featuring over 75 colour photos, <i>Canadian Spirits</i> tells the vibrant stories of Canada’s more than 160 diverse spirits producers, from the massive Hiram-Walker distillery in Windsor, Ontario, to the pioneering Glenora Inn & Distillery in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver’s tiny Odd Society Spirits. In an impartial and accessible tone, the authors provide information on and reviews of craft-distilled spirits and the facilities in which they are produced, creating a distillery tourist’s roadmap to the best places in Canada to explore craft spirits. </p>
