In this beautiful volume, award-winning spirits expert Robin Robinson skillfully chronicles the development of whiskey, highlighting a hundred exceptional milestones in its history. The journey begins in antiquity with the simple covered pot and alembic. In the Middle Ages, monks distilled spirits to make medicine.

Over the centuries, taxes and prohibition took their toll, even sparking the Whiskey Rebellion in the early years of American independence.
