The Kings County Distillery Guide to Urban Moonshining: How to Make and Drink Whiskey Description
A new generation of urban bootleggers is distilling whiskey at home, and cocktail enthusiasts have embraced the nuances of brown liquors. Written by the founders of Kings County Distillery, New York City's first distillery since Prohibition, this spirited illustrated book explores America's age-old love affair with whiskey. It begins with chapters on whiskey's history and culture from 1640 to today, when the DIY trend and the classic cocktail craze have conspired to make it the next big thing. For those thirsty for practical information, the book next provides a detailed, easy-to-follow guide to safe home distilling, complete with a list of supplies, step-by-step instructions, and helpful pictures, anecdotes, and tips. The final section focuses on the contemporary whiskey scene, featuring a list of microdistillers, cocktail and food recipes from the country's hottest mixologists and chefs, and an opinionated guide to building your own whiskey collection.

I really enjoyed this book and burned through it in about 2 days. I learned quite a bit about the various brands of whiskey and the laws surrounding how it is named, etc. My only complaint is that the book is titled "Guide to Urban Moonshining" and only spends one chapter on the subject. There are definitely other resources that offer more information on the subject if that is your goal in learning how. That beings said, the book was a fun read and inspired me to visit my local state store to pick up a bottle of Elijah Craig. I suggest picking up a bottle to sip on while you read this book.

As a bartender I found it extensive and detailed enough to satiate my desire for more knowledge than the average drinker is likely seeking, and yet Haskell has a concise and approachable writing style that makes it accessible for the lay drinker or newly of age looking for a better path than copious amounts of Keystone and Natty Ice.
Not only a very decent intro to distilling at home, but a very insightful look at the whiskey business as a whole. It takes you through the entire process from harvest to point of sale, and is sure to teach something to even the most seasoned of bourbon drinkers.
