READ THIS: 1001 WHISKIES YOU MUST TASTE BEFORE YOU DIE Dominic Roskrow, General Editor Our Coverage Sponsored by Caribbean Joe Footwear

Vacation is a state of mind. We believe that the glass is half full. We believe in the healing power of sand, rum, limes and laughter. We believe that maybe the hokey pokey is what it's all about. We believe that time spent together with friends and family is time well spent. We believe in the island spirit of warmth and hospitality. And we believe that summer is too short and vacations too fleeting, to limit this lifestyle to a single season. Our brand is a four-season brand, offering a rich array of products for laid back, happy living, all year long. Welcome to Caribbean Joe.

We absolutely adore whiskey at Whom You Know, and Peachy Deegan has future ambitions of trying these 1001!  Though this was released in June, we are not summer whiskey-drinkers and now that it is fall, we feel it is seasonally appropriate to tell you about this latest hit from Rizzoli.  Perhaps by spring we will have tried them all in hibernation....
1001 Whiskies You Must Taste Before You Die presents the collective, subjective wisdom of an international team of critics on the finest spirits from the Scottish highlands to the exotic new whiskies emanating from Japan and the evolving world of American micro-distilleries. This guide also covers bourbons and ryes, making this the go-to volume for the serious whisky connoisseur as well as the passionate beginner and everyone inbetween!

These “must-try” whiskies range from high-quality, mass-produced brands to small-batch specialty bourbons from micro-distilleries. Each entry includes critical tasting notes, a history of the distillery, and temperature recommendations. From grain to glass, everything important is covered—including storing and serving whiskies, making whisky cocktails, and pairing whisky with food—making this the most important illustrated exploration of whisky published in years.
