Whiskey lovers, serious spirits drinkers, distillers, judges, educators, collectors, and all who wish to learn better evaluation techniques are invited to meet George F. Manska at Bar Convent Brooklyn on June 10, 2026, from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. For a signing of Distilled Spirits Sensory Science: A Systematic Approach to Flavor Evaluation and Analysis. Moving beyond tradition, tasting-room folklore and myth, inadequate flavor descriptions, and brand storytelling, this text teaches spirits evaluation through applicable sensory science, presenting structured methods for nosing, tasting, interpreting, and judging spirits with greater consistency and evidence-based discipline. It explains why ethanol suppresses aroma, why nosing technique matters, how glass shape and bias affect perception, and why added water can both reveal and distort. Meet the author, get your personalized copy of the first book ever published to directly connect factual science with deeper appreciation and accurate evaluation of spirits.
