Classic Tequila

Rate this book
Distilled from the heart of the agave, a cactus-like plant from the Mexican plains, tequila is a true classic spirit, as central to Mexican culture as whisky is to Scottish traditions. Barrel-aged and blended tequilas--with their herby, spicy aroma and subtle oily texture--have a complexity to rival cognac or malt whiskey. Classic Tequila guides the reader through the rich culture and far-reaching history of the drink. There are tasting notes and histories from classic brands like Cuervo and Sauza to aged and reserve specialties and little-known gems; classic cocktail lore; foods to accompany tequila; recipes for cooking with the spirit; plus a guide to tequila bars and destinations in Mexico and around the world. A classic companion to the drink of the desert. Ian Wisniewski's previous book is Classic Vodka .
