This is a great time for whiskey. Craft distillers and established whiskey makers alike are offering spirits that defy convention, and the popularity of the beverage is growing exponentially. Conceived by the proprietors of Kings County Distillery, this handsome set of journals is designed to guide the whiskey enthusiast through a personal exploration of the multifaceted spirit. The set includes: a hardcover journal with guided pages for tasting notes, a slim notebook with work sheets for the home distiller, and a fold-out poster of the American Whiskey Family Tree.
Colin Spoelman and David Haskell are the founders of Kings County Distillery, the oldest whiskey distillery in New York City and the first in operation since Prohibition. Colin, a former rooftop moonshiner from Kentucky, and David, the great-grandson of a Prohibition-era bootlegger from New York, fuse ancient practices and modern technology to make small-scale batches of moonshine, bourbon, and other whiskeys.
