The Art of Distilling | Bill Owens | Distilling

The Art of Distilling, Revised and Expanded by Bill Owens is an accessible English-language guide for anyone who wants to understand artisan distilling and the modern world of small-scale spirits. Owens, founder of the American Distilling Institute, takes readers behind the scenes with contemporary micro-distillers.

The book covers the basics of distilling, the history of the craft and the way water, grain, fruit and other raw materials are transformed into characterful spirits. Whiskey, gin, vodka, brandy and other distillates are included, making this book broader than a standard whisky guide.

This revised and expanded edition includes additional practical insights, tips and examples from the artisan distilling scene. Its focus is on the craft, inspiration and techniques behind modern spirits, supported by insider photography from distilleries.

For whisky lovers, The Art of Distilling is especially interesting because it clarifies the technical foundations behind distillation. It helps readers understand how raw materials, fermentation, distilling choices and small-scale production influence style, character and flavour.

A suitable book for fans of whiskey, gin, craft spirits, distillery visits and drinks history. Please note: this book is intended as a source of knowledge and inspiration; distilling is subject to laws and regulations in many countries.
