So much information! My favorite part is the tasting section. It gives ideas what to look for and what flavors can be. Also great recipes included.

This would make a great gift for a tequila enthusiast!

I like the inclusion of journal pages and, as someone who enjoys a shot or two of tequila every so often, I loved reading about the history of tequila, how it's made and how to really appreciate different kinds of tequila.

Here is a "taste" of all things tequila, from a brief history, to the tasting notes, to the most recognized brands, to recipes. For anyone who wishes to know the basics about this liquor, it's worthy of a read.

This is the third in the series that I have read, and much like its predecessors, this one is short and a fast read. I like the photographs throughout the book and ample pages of tasting notes so readers can go on their own tasting journey. What I appreciate too are the listing of tasting notes possible in each tequila - though each variety is different, at least one of these notes can be deciphered from the sip. Informative, fun read.

This is an interesting book about tequila!

The book talks about the history of tequila, how it's made, and how to taste it. The majority of the book is blank for tasting notes, but there is some interesting information on how to differentiate between tequilas and what to expect at a tasting.

Overall an interesting find!

A really interesting and detailed look at Tequila but in a very, very brief format.
Over 50% of this book is dedicated to tasting notes for the reader to fill in themselves - nearly 100 blankish pages out of 179.

I was given a copy of Enjoying Tequila by NetGalley and the publishers in return for an unbiased review.

Enjoying Tequila is a sampling guide with customizable journal pages written by Frank Flannery and one volume of a set of similar specialist alcohol tasting instruction tutorials. Due out 12th April 2022 from Quarto on their Voyageur Press imprint, it's 176 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

The book opens with an introduction and short history of tequila including production methods. The author has an accessible style of writing and despite not having any background in food arts, wine, or cooking, I had no problems understanding what he meant or trouble with the language used. The following chapters provide a good basis for systematically sampling tequila and interpreting what the reader experiences subjectively and writing it down. The specialist language and terminology are defined in context in the text and he does a good job of showing the differences between types of tequila and how to interpret labels.

There's a good tutorial included for tasting etiquette, serving methods (I never knew that in Mexico, most tequila is served neat and not tossed into margaritas!) and understanding what flavors are being experienced and how to interpret and record them. There are some recipes included for tequila based cocktails for experimentation.

It should be noted that fully half of the page content is a blank tasting journal for recording tasting notes from different tequilas to be filled out as needed by the reader. The pages are identical in the journal section. The book (and journal) are graphically appealing and the book section is full of full color photos with clear text captions.

This book reminds me a lot of a well organized tasting class given by a knowledgeable and friendly facilitator. This would be a great "warm up" mini-class to get up to speed before an in-person local tasting class. Definitely a niche book, but a useful one, I think.

Four stars.
