Bourbon 101 by Albert W. A. Schmid is an ideal introduction to the world of bourbon. The book is written for new enthusiasts who want to understand what bourbon is, how it is made and why this American whiskey has such strong cultural meaning.

The book is told through Schmid’s own experiences and interactions with experts in the bourbon world. As a result, Bourbon 101 feels both like a practical handbook and a personal love letter to Kentucky’s most famous drink.

The book also explores today’s bourbon culture. Bourbon has become a global passion, with collectors, tasters and enthusiasts looking for more than just a bottle: they are looking for story, tradition and experience.

A strong whiskey gift for beginning bourbon lovers, fans of American whiskey and readers looking for an accessible but informative starting point in bourbon, Kentucky whiskey and the modern bourbon boom.
