Although the content of this thriller is a bit sleazier than that of Finder's tales of corporate shenanigans, his understated style is no less smooth and polished — and classy enough for troubled characters to pause and make a big deal about the relative merits of rye whiskeys like Old Overholt and WhistlePig.

The inaugural 2017 demo from these sleazy, breezy New York City rock 'n' rollers remains one of my local favorites; it's rough and raw and makes me want to throw back about a dozen whiskeys, and what more could you ask of a bunch of tattooed punks with a stash of Inepsy records?

For his dissertation, Mr. Arnold is examining how soil and climate in different parts of the state affect the flavor characteristics in corn, and whether those qualities come through in a distilled and aged spirit — a project that, he believes, will help him make whiskeys that can be identified with specific parts of Texas.

While vodka continues to reign supreme among U.S. palates, racking up a remarkable $6.2 billion in sales last year, the clear spirit lacks the depth of flavor and, frankly, the "cool factor" of premium American whiskeys, whose sales rose 8.1 percent in 2017—growth that the Distilled Spirits Council attributes, in large part, to millenials' taste for small-batch bourbons.

Double Barrel Whiskey $49.99 750 milliliters 100 proof More restrained than its stable mates, the Double Barrel — in which different whiskeys have been blended and further aged together in another cask — smells of cake batter, fresh berries and children's cough syrup; as it develops in the glass, its nose turns darker and woodier, with a hint of sweet fortified wine lurking in the background.

The whiskey sour has been a staple cocktail at bars, parties and small get togethers for ages — one that has spawned several variations through the years, one of the latest among them being The American Sour, which substitutes in Wild Turkey American Honey® (a blend of bold Kentucky straight bourbon and the sweetness of real honey) in place of unflavored whiskeys used in a more traditional whiskey sour recipe.

During another tasting that showcased some special selections of Nikka Japanese whisky at Bar Jackalope, the crowd of 75 varied from downtown executives in expensive suits to 20-somethings with hoodies who drove all the way from south and east LA.

He passes through miles of leather handbags and perfumes and whiskeys, miles of beautiful German and Turkish retail maids, and, in this dream, he is talking to them about colognes, and letting them giggle and spritz him with scents of leather and musk; he is looking through wallets, and fingering one made of ostrich leather; he is standing at the counter of a V.I.P. lounge and talking to the receptionist, a lady with sea-urchin hair, about his childhood in Delaware, charming his way into the lounge, where businessmen of all nationalities are wearing the same suit; he sits in a cream leather chair, drinks champagne, eats oysters; and there the dream fades. . . .
