This year give your dad a copy of Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert.Here he will learn the skills he needs to understand flavours and aromas. And just to be sure, tasting notes for more than 100 whiskies are included.Along the way, he will hear compelling tales of the disasters, sudden triumphs and destructive family feuds that make up Canada’s colourful whisky lore.It’s a revealing story of family dynasties, innovative science, fortunes made and lost, and sometimes brave and occasionally odd corporate strategies.Yes, Dad is special. And once again this Father’s Day he’ll welcome more socks and ties. But why not give him something to enjoy at his leisure? And be prepared for the big grin that will spread over his face.Canadian Whisky: The Portable Expert is available from book stores in Canada and the U.S., on the worldwide web from Amazon.com, and from Amazon.ca for delivery in Canada.
