While some may wonder, Does the world really need another flavored vodka? no one answers this question quite so memorably as spirits writer and raconteur Jason Wilson does in Boozehound. (By the way, the short answer is no.) A unique blend of travelogue, spirits history, and recipe collection, Boozehound explores the origins of what we drink and the often surprising reasons behind our choices.In lieu of odorless, colorless, tasteless spirits, Wilson champions Old World liquors with hardtodefine flavorsa bitter and complex Italian amari, or the ancient, aromatic herbs of Chartreuse, as well as distinctive New World offerings like lively Peruvian pisco. With an eye for adventure, Wilson seeks out visceral experiences at the source of productionvisiting fields of spiky agave in Jalisco, entering the heavily and reverentlyguarded Jgermeister herb room in Wolfenbttel, and journeying to the French Alps to determine if mustachioed men in berets really handpick blossoms to make elderflower liqueur.In addition, Boozehound offers more than fifty drink recipes, from three riffs on the Manhattan to cocktailgeek favorites like the Aviation and the Last Word. These recipes are presented alongside a host of opinionated essays that cherish the rare, uncover the obscure, dethrone the overrated, and unravel the mysteries of taste, trends, and terroir. Through his farflung, intrepid traveling and tasting, Wilson shows us that perhaps nothing else as entwined with the history of human culture is quite as much fun as booze.
