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

- “… 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

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.
