THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CANADIAN DISTILLERIES: THE PORTABLE EXPERT TO OVER 175 DISTILLERIES AND THE SPIRITS THEY MAKE
Book ID/图书代码： 12760019C00004
English Summary/英文概要： Whole foods, farm-to-table menus, local this, artisanal that—never have Canadians been more interested in what they consume and where it comes from. In fact, just a decade ago, fewer than a dozen distilleries, concentrated in two provinces, produced almost all of the spirits made in Canada. Today, that number has doubled many times over, with nearly 170 producers now thriving in all ten provinces and one territory. But even with over 120 new distilleries being established in the past five years alone—not to mention the rising public enthusiasm for Canada’s distillers—no one has taken the time to offer consumers an all-inclusive guide to them.
That is, until now.
The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries takes you through the current state of distilling in Canada, detailing the hows and wherefores of distillers, their products, markets, and influences from the past, as well as future trends. Authors Davin de Kergommeaux and Blair Phillips leave no cask unturned as they travel across the country—from British Columbia to the Prairies, from Ontario and Quebec to the Eastern provinces—reviewing key products from each distillery and providing tasting notes and recipes for home chefs and bartenders alike.
Ever wondered if there really is such a thing as prickly pear liqueur? What do Arctic fruits and berries taste like when distilled? Do you know which distilleries are winning awards at home and abroad, or how do Canada’s ryes, gins and single malt whiskies compare with the world’s best? Or how about the most important question of all: Who makes the best dill pickle vodka?
Whether you’re visiting the Forty Creek Distillery in Grimsby, Ontario or the Dubh Glas distillery in Vernon, Bristish Columbia, let The Definitive Guide to Canadian Distilleries be your go-to guide for your own distillery travel adventure.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书，是《加拿大威士忌》一书的获奖作家献给加众多酿酒厂的唯一权威性指南。
全天然食品，从农场到餐桌的菜单，当地特色，手工制作——加拿大人从来没有像现在这样对他们所消费的食物和食物来源如此感兴趣。事实上，就在10年前，只有不到12家酿酒厂(集中在两个省)生产了几乎所有在加拿大生产的烈酒。如今，这个数字翻了好几倍，近170家生产商在全国10个省和一个地区蓬勃发展。但是，即使仅仅在过去的五年里就建立了120多家新的酿酒厂，更不用说公众对加拿大酿酒厂日益高涨的热情了，也没有人花时间为消费者提供全面的指导。(Sandy)
