Kate Hopkins knew there had to be more to whiskey than using it as a mixer with Sunny Delight. She had an unquenchable thirst to learn more about "the drink" and, accompanied by her friend Krysta, set out on an ambitious itinerary through Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the U.S. researching its history and sampling as many drams as possible along the way. Hopkins visited historians and pub owners, went to distilleries and tasting rooms, and interviewed the aficionados and the common drinkers, all in pursuit of stories about whiskey. The result is a fun and engaging travelogue in search of the perfect shot.
Ex-stand-up comedian Kate Hopkin's food blog The Accidental Hedonist has been named one Time Magazine's 50 Coolest Websites. She also writes a food column for Seattle's alternative weekly The Stranger and lives in Seattle, Washington.
