Distilled spirits of all kinds have borne the name "waters of life" since time immemorial, in various tongues. Aqua vita, Eau de vie, Uisge Beatha, and Tom Morton have traveled the world in search of the finest drams. His journeys reveal the links between faith and alcohol, spirits and the spiritual. From Christianity's Holy Communion to the temple libations of Japan, through the rum concoctions of Haitian Voodoo to the monastic producers of every liquid from beer to tonic wine, and of course, Tom's beloved whisky, brewed in many corners of the world.
Holy Waters is Tom's journey to the spiritual heart of whisky, sake, rum, Champagne, beer, mead, and a variety of wines. With great insight, humor, and sobriety, he traces the links between brewing, winemaking, distilling, and worship, from ancient pagan rites to the most modern Trappist technology. He revels in the lore and mysteries of craft production, the elemental, magical love stories, the passionate relationships between human and landscape, grain and pure water, grape and fire. And he does so on a motorcycle, which, to his astonishment, runs very well on cask-strength Islay single malt.
This book is a celebration of cultures and artisan craft, a book for food and drink, travel, and history lovers.
