Ep14, Pt 2: A Conversation with Author John McCarthy
Whether you are a Modern Gentleman or a Whiskey Rebel, you won’t want to miss out on the next part of Balderdash Academy with Visiting Professor John McCarthy. He schools us on everything from starter whiskeys to the life cycle of a spirit. Find out about his career in publishing, managing one of the nation’s most popular manly magazine, his ascent to a scholar of spirits and get yourself some insider info on what a man who lives life reviewing cocktails would make for a guest. Catch it here in Part 2 of Episode 14, only on Balderdash Academy.
John has graciously allowed us to reproduce one of the recipes from The Modern Gentleman: The Guide to the Best Food, Drinks, and Accessories right here for your enjoyment. Do us a favor and click on the link below to pick yourself up a copy. I use the book all the time. It’s well worth the price and fits perfectly with your other bar books.
