I first met Noah Rothbaum at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail, and it was immediately clear I was in the presence of whiskey royalty. His deep well of knowledge, disarming humility, and easy storytelling made an impression long before a single bottle was opened. So when I heard he was launching The Whiskey Bible, I knew it wasn’t going to be just another book release—it was going to be an event for whiskey lovers.
