Omschrijving
Award-winning travel and drinks writer Mike Gerrard takes readers on a centuries-long journey highlighting the most bizarre – and expensive – alcohol-related crimes all while revealing the inside world of booze: how it has been distilled, legislated, imbibed, and infused into culture and society for hundreds of years.
Mike Gerrard is an award-winning travel and drinks writer who has written for National Geographic, The Times of London, American Express, Google, Microsoft, BBC Good Food, Waitrose Drinks, The Huffington Post, and BBC Travel. He has written over 40 travel guidebooks, including the best-selling National Geographic Traveler Guide to Greece, as well as a collection of travel writing, Snakes Alive (Blue Sky Books, 2010). He also publishes the Travel Distilled website (traveldistilled.com), which combines his two passions.
His life as a travel and drinks writer has led to him drinking vodka for breakfast in Siberia, cognac in Cognac, sherry in Jerez, port in Oporto, champagne in Champagne, rum in Jamaica, jenever in Amsterdam, gin in Iceland, beer at the Great American Beer Festival, bourbon in Kentucky, whisk(e)y in Tennessee and Scotland, and visiting distilleries all over the world.
