From Barley to Blarney
This “sophisticated guide for fans of Irish whiskey” explores the history, distilleries, and pubs—and includes twelve original cocktails (The Wall Street Journal). An Irish whiskey guru, two bartender behemoths, and an adept writer combine forces to create this comprehensive guide to Irish whiskey. Starting with an introduction to the history of whiskey in Ireland, the authors explain what makes each style unique. An illustrated tour of the four Irish provinces features twenty-two distilleries and some of Ireland’s most iconic bars and pubs. From Barley to Blarney links rich historic heritage with today’s whiskey boom and a look ahead at the future for Irish whiskey producers. Then the fun really begins as the masterminds behind 2016’s “World’s Best Bar,” Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog, share twelve original mixed-drink recipes tailor-made for Irish spirits.

Thames Yacht Club
Here is a lively and engaging portrait of a New England yacht club's first three-quarters-of-a-century. A fast-paced narrative, powerful interview-based anecdotes, and a collection of 50 photographs vividly bring the club's story to life. There's drama-the brute force of the legendary 1938 hurricane, the near-collision of a sailing dinghy and a destroyer-escort, and the chilling spectacle of a club boat sinking during a race. And there's humor-the Coast Guard towing the transom out of a swamped small boat, young sailors "blockading" an intrusive ferryboat, and children trying to sail into the wind. Founded in 1933 by a handful of sailing enthusiasts in New London, Connecticut, and maintained by its members, the club today boasts a membership of nearly 200 and a fleet of more than 150 boats. The club's location on the west bank of the Thames River, a mile from Long Island Sound, affords quick access to some of the finest cruising and racing waters in the country. Over the years, five generations of families have made the club their base for both waterborne and shore activities. Generations more will do the same as the club sails on to the century mark and beyond.
