Oak, Wine & Spirits: Tale of Alchemy
Description
Oak, Wine & Spirits: A Tale of Alchemy by Thierry Dussard and Christophe Deschanel is a richly layered exploration of the enduring relationship between oak, craftsmanship, and the world’s most celebrated wines and spirits. From the forests of France to distilleries in Scotland and the United States, this Assouline volume reveals how the origin, grain, and toast of each barrel influence the texture, aroma, and complexity of champagne, cognac, bourbon, whisky, and rum. Through evocative photography and thoughtful storytelling, the book pays tribute to the patient savoir-faire of coopers and artisans whose work transforms oak into an instrument of maturation and refinement.
