The book has been out for a few weeks now, and the reviews are coming in fast and furious. Here are some blurbs:

• "...Hopkins's enthusiasm for giving us the lowdown on the best tasting brands makes this book well worth sipping slowly." - Playboy
• "Hopkins is an entertaining storyteller, which works in a book dedicated to a storied beverage." - Portland Mercury
• "... one of the best whisky books of the year." - WhiskyCast
• ".. a pleasant and informative read." - Publishers Weekly
• "(Kate) has an open mind about taste, is aware of the brand push and is honest about the entire experience. It's a refreshing perspective." - about.com
• "99 Drams is a good read." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
• "...this is a frequently hilarious story about researching a great topic." - Benito's Wine Reviews
• "Kate Hopkins's 99 Drams of Whisky is a welcome addition to the literature on scotch." - Scotch Chix
• "With the quality of her research beyond reproach, the casual drinker can take comfort in the accuracy of her claims and the inaccuracy of the whiskey snobs." - Eric Doss
• "...the way in which (Kate) intertwines Irish, Scottish, Canadian and American whisky history is unique and a dram good read." - The Whisky Channel

Which reminds me. 99 Drams of Whiskey would make a great Father's Day gift! Be sure to get a copy for the whiskey fan in your life. Or heck, forget Father's day and just buy a copy for your summer reading.
