There was a time when a man wouldn’t be caught dead with a drink that ended in –tini. Today, whether it’s nostalgia, the popularity of AMC’s Mad Men, or just the fact that it tastes damn good, whiskey is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence in popularity. The problem is, like any alcohol, there’s some stuff you should try, and some stuff you shouldn’t even use to clean a wound. That’s why we recommend getting yourself a copy of 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die. What’s great about this book is it won’t send you on a wild goose chase trying to track down its selections. Nothing listed is overly expensive or overly difficult to locate. So, before you go swigging away there, Don Draper, get your whiskey education first, that way you won’t go running back to your Malibu Bay Breeze.
