This is the essential guide for anyone interested in whisky, whether a connoisseur or enthusiastic novice.
After a brief history of this world-renonwed spirit, the book concentrates on Scotch whisky today. The author explores how it is made, the whisky categories and whisky regions. He then explains how to appreciate whisky to the full, focusing on aroma, flavour and style.
The main part of the book is a comprehensive A-Z directory of whiskies, divided into two secitons: single malt and grain whiskes, and blended whiskies. Each entry has detailed information on the distiller, owner, available expressions and invaluable tasting notes.
The appendices provide a full range of supplementary information including a flavour checklist, recommended distilleries to visit and advice for whisky collectors.
