From Barley to Blarney: A Whiskey Lover's Guide to Ireland by Sean Muldoon

From medieval monks to recent renaissance, From Barley to Blarney: A Whiskey Lover's Guide to Ireland includes everything you need to understand, appreciate, and mix one of the world's fastest-growing (and most delicious!) spirits.

An Irish whiskey guru, two bartender behemoths, and an adept writer combine forces to create this comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey. The book begins with an in-depth introduction to whiskey and its history in Ireland, including what makes the style of Irish whiskey unique. What follows is a detailed examination of 50 different Irish whiskeys and the distilleries that make them, as well as a discussion of the booming present and promising future for Irish whiskey producers. The fun really begins when the masterminds behind 2015's World's Best Bar, Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog, share 15 original mixed-drink recipes tailor-made for Irish spirits. Lastly, Irish Whiskey showcases 30 of Ireland's iconic bars and pubs, linking past to present and providing the ultimate whiskey tourist itinerary.

From Barley to Blarney Reviews

This colorful new book provides a tour of today's distilleries, some with venerable roots, but most starting quite recently to meet the newly skyrocketing demand.
(The New York times)
A sophisticated guide for fans of Irish whiskey. It's beautifully designed and illustrated . . . I can't imagine returning to Ireland without a copy tucked away. (The Wall Street Journal)
If you knew nothing about Irish whiskey before picking up the book, it doesn't matter. By the end, you'll have not only a solid base of Irish whiskey and Irish pub knowledge but also the will and wish to hop on the first jet to Dublin and start your very own journey. (Sam Slaughter, The Manual)
If you're a serious Irish whiskey connoisseur, you'll find plenty to interest you. But if you don't know about the har stuff, [there is] information on its history and how it's made. If you're a devotee of great pubs, you'll be spoiled for choice. And if you love a good cocktail, Jack McGarry created 12 original recipes. . . (The Irish Times)
If this was a book that had been done from the desk, as it easily could have been, it might have ended up as a dry encyclopedia that was useful as a reference work but not something you'd read cover to cover. However, by visiting all the pubs and distilleries, and talking to the owners and the experts, each entry is filled with conversation as well as information. The reader hears directly from the distiller or the pub owner, and we all know there's no conversation like an Irish conversation. All you need is a session of live Irish music playing in the background, and you could be there with them. (Travel Distilled)
Irish whiskey is a spirit unto itself, and lovers of Scotch or Bourbon can argue, but Irish whiskey purists know the craic (fun) is in the neat pour with good friends. This book was born from a whiskey guru, two bartender behemoths, to create this comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey. (Monsters & Critics)
Everyone should have take a road trip through Ireland on their bucket list - this is speaking from experience - and for whiskey lovers there's now a definitive guide: From Barley to Blarney, written by the founders of the Dead Rabbit. (Eva Kis, Metro New York)
