It's a bit outdated, especially since the American Whiskey industry is starting to fade now - it seems to end on a positive note from pre-pandemic times, not even realizing the peak was still to come. It's cool to see the older bottle images of brands that are big right now... Would love to see an updated book or expansion on this! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #476,749 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #156 in Whiskey #443 in Alcoholic Spirits #970 in Cooking Encyclopedias | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 547 Reviews | ## Images ![American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye: A Guide to the Nation's Favorite Spirit - A Cocktail Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jc9O1HksL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything about Whiskey, and is an incredible guide to selecting the best. *by M***T on June 15, 2020* Excellent book.

It's a bit outdated, especially since the American Whiskey industry is starting to fade now - it seems to end on a positive note from pre-pandemic times, not even realizing the peak was still to come. It's cool to see the older bottle images of brands that are big right now... Would love to see an updated book or expansion on this! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy It *by R***D on November 3, 2013* The Internet is full of scattershot whiskey reviews that lack context and, all too often, are written by over-exuberant cheerleaders who won't give you the straight dope out of fear distilleries will stop sending them free bottles. Risen is way above that. He puts it all in one place and isn't afraid to deep-six the overpriced dreck flowing out of many hip craft distilleries; nor is he too cool to praise the efforts of big, unglamorous brands whose craftsmanship deserves it. On the flip side, he'll readily point you to the upstarts stepping out on the road to stardom, and deflate the lackluster efforts of big labels coasting through life on their marketing budgets. Fair and keen, it's a lucid roadmap for navigating an increasingly complex landscape. Whiskey writers are a lot like film or music critics. Even if you've never met, it's important to feel like you know the reviewer a little bit and understand where his particular tastes and boundaries sit. Otherwise, opinions mean very little. Risen's large body of engaging, consistent work makes him the rare trustworthy go-to. Even if your own tastes don't always entirely match up, his consistency makes his advice useful. He'll help whiskey newbies gain the footing to develop their own opinions, and connoisseurs who already have their sea legs will appreciate sound advice for sailing unfamiliar waters. His sharp, concise history section and his analysis of market trends will only enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of American whiskey. ## Frequently Bought Together - American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye - THE BOURBON BIBLE - Bourbon: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American Whiskey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/20924795-american-whiskey-bourbon-and-rye-a-guide-to-the-nations](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/20924795-american-whiskey-bourbon-and-rye-a-guide-to-the-nations) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-11-15*
