Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits By Jason Wilson Ten Speed Press $25.99; 232 pages
It seems that no matter how hard I try, every once in a while, time gets away from me. I mean really far from reach y'know? Like soap slipping through my fingers – or the North Pole.
Still everyone enjoys a good excerpt I figure, or at least those that read book reviews and author interviews. With that in mind, here are a few links to some excerpts from author Jason Wilson's Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits. Enjoy.
Wilson writes about his first teenage liquor experience in The Ombibulous Me.
The Washington Post presents the excerpt: Jason Wilson on becoming a spirits aficionado.
And let's face it, what to fans of cocktails really want? You know it. Enjoy these three recipes from Boozehound: the Livorno, the Nordic Snapper and the Viceroy.
And one last plug for our mighty cocktailian, for a wonderful review, an insightful interview with a talented author, and last, but not least, for turning me on to this highly entertiaing read. Drumroll please...
