书籍简介

苏格兰曾经主宰着威士忌的世界，但如今已不复存在。英格兰只是众多挑战苏格兰历史领先地位的国家之一。

直到现在，英格兰的威士忌生产一直很平静。几个世纪以来，这里一直广泛生产杜松子酒，尤其是在 1688 年奥兰治威廉和玛丽加冕后，但几乎没有生产威士忌，然后在千禧年之交，一切都发生了变化。

英格兰越来越多的酿酒厂，无论是大型商业酿酒厂还是微型酿酒厂，都在探索新的令人兴奋的风味，尝试不同的谷物、蒸馏器形状和风味特征。许多这样的酿酒厂现在都已成为世界的大型酿酒厂，与 20 年前的小型手工酿酒厂相去甚远。

这本新书讲述了英国威士忌在世界舞台上成为重要参与者的激动人心的故事。书中涵盖的主题包括 20 年前英国威士忌公司如何开创了威士忌行业，黑麦如何与大麦竞争成为精选谷物，可持续发展的重要性，泥炭和橡木的使用，以及高端旅游业的大幅增长，大量游客喜欢在从康沃尔到坎布里亚的全国各地的酿酒厂了解英国威士忌。本书介绍了近 40 家酿酒厂，并介绍了迄今为止发布的主要威士忌的描述和品尝笔记。

Where once Scotland dominated the world of whisky, that’s no longer the case. England is just one of many countries now challenging Scotland’s historic lead.

Until recently, England has been quiet as far as whisky production goes. Gin has been widely produced here for several centuries, especially after the accession of William of Orange and Mary in 1688, but whisky was hardly produced at all, and then at the turn of the millennium everything changed.

More and more distilleries here in England, both large commercial ones and micro-distilleries, are exploring new and exciting flavours, playing around with different grains, shapes of stills and flavour profiles. Many of these distilleries are now becoming serious world-class operations, a far cry from the small craft distilleries of even 20 years ago.

This new book tells the exciting story of English whisky as it becomes established as a serious player on the world stage. Covering topics such as how the industry was kickstarted as recently as 20 years ago by the English Whisky Company, how rye is competing with barley as a grain of preference, the importance of sustainability, the use of peat and oak, and the huge increase in high-end tourism, with vast numbers of visitors enjoying learning about English whisky at distilleries up and down the country, from Cornwall to Cumbria. The book includes profiles of nearly 40 distilleries, with descriptions and tasting notes of key whiskies released so far.
