And here to explain it all is my long-time friend, culinary educator, and award-winning author Albert Schmid, whose newest book, <em><strong>Bourbon 101<\/strong><\/em>, was just recently released by The University Press of Kentucky. \u00a0Many of you may already be far more educated on the subject than I am &#8212; I&#8217;m a lightweight when it comes to distilled beverages, but am, nevertheless, a fan of the concept and need a mentor like Albert to open up my understanding and palate. After all, if the mission of a baker (as I often write) is &#8220;to evoke the full potential of flavor trapped in the grain through the art and craft of fermentation,&#8221; we&#8217;re really talking about the same thing here when it comes to whiskey. It&#8217;s all about distilling the essence, the full essence &#8212; the spirit &#8212; of flavor trapped in those well guarded, proprietary blends of grain.<\/p>\n<p>In this episode, Albert takes me (and us) through a tasting of four distinct versions of corn mash whiskey, and explains what qualifies some as &#8220;bourbons&#8221; and as others as, well, moonshine, Tennessee or Canadian whiskey, and the dozens of other variations of hootch. Most importantly, though, he opens up for me &#8212; and I think for all who follow along &#8212; a whole new level of appreciation for how to savor that essence &#8212; the spirit &#8212; that distinguishes one brand from another and makes Bourbon such a beloved part of the great artisan story of America (and I think the Scotch, Irish, and Canadians would all lift a glass of their own versions in full celebratory support). Feel free to taste along, as Albert Schmid expertly guides us through <strong><em>Bourbon 101<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pizza Quest, Season 4, Episode 8: Bourbon 101 with author Albert Schmid\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U1OqZzlrFak?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to another episode of Pizza Quest.
