'I don t really like drinks books. They normally preach to me and I feel SMALL. [Mark Ridgwell's Spirits distilled, however, in particular], the mescal and tequila page [was] so good. I finished it. What an oeuvre.' - Rupert Ponsonby, Director R and R Teamwork Media Relations'Great book. Rare to get such a conversational tone along with so much factual material.

L'autore
During the 30 years he dedicated his life and liver to the corporate world of spirits Mark Ridgwell was inspired by years of fun at I.D.V. He was energized at Hiram Walker, taking tequila, bourbon and liqueurs out of their comfort zones in America and into the world beyond and finally rewarded with the pleasure of talking to anyone, all over the world, who cared to hear about Kentucky s little gem, Makers Mark. In 1999 Mark left and set up Taste & Flavour, a network of speakers, all passionate about spirits and keen to share their knowledge with those wanting to enjoy spirits as products of nature and not as the manufacture of marketers, as luxuries to enhance their drinking experiences and not alcohol to abuse, as products of pleasure and not instruments of destruction, as potentially memorable drinking experiences and not the route to oblivion. Taste & Flavour has since developed brand champions into product authorities, top bartenders into opinion formers and has empowered them to make informed choices about the spirits they sell. Mark is a a Musketeer of Armagnac, an appointed Cognac Educator, a Consul of Tequila and a WSET Approved Programme Provider. (Lewes, England)
