The Library Essay
A Spirit With a Long Memory
Clay Risen, the New York Times journalist who became one of America's leading whiskey writers, selects for this 2020 Assouline volume the hundred bottles a collector would pursue if rarity and price were no object, legendary Scottish single malts, pre-Prohibition and cult Kentucky bourbons, and the Japanese whiskies whose rise reordered the market's summit.
The choices carry the trade's history inside them, distilleries silenced and resurrected, casks forgotten in warehouses until they became relics, and the auction boom that turned drinking stock into portfolio assets. Produced in the series' hand-bound format, it is both a connoisseur's argument and a record of the moment brown spirits joined art and wine among the collected things.
