No distiller's bookshelf would be complete without a copy of Ian Smiley's Making Pure Corn Whiskey, a natural companion to The Compleat Distiller. 

Ian has researched his subject thoroughly, and it is widely acknowledged that Making Pure Corn Whiskey, now in its second edition,  is the prime reference work for anyone interested in flavored spirits and beverages. 

All the procedures needed to make a wide variety of whiskeys are described in full, concise detail, using modern and scientific methods – from Pure Corn Whiskeys to Bourbon, Peat-Smoked to Corn Squeezins', Thin-Mash, Sour-Mash, All-Grain, Rye-Mash etc etc.  Moreover, the same principles can be applied to any other flavored spirit – Grappa, Rum, etc.

There can be little doubt that the West would have been won in half the time if they'd had this book in their wagons!
