Synopsis
From Islay to Orkney, from Scotland to Ireland, and from Japan to New Zealand, this fully revised fourth edition incorporates a unique and helpful rating system for each malt's sweetness, peatiness and availability and a new guide to cost, as well as sections on 'historical' whiskies and on regionalisation. With more tasting notes and information than any comparable manual, this is a must-have for whisky lovers and novices alike.

Customer Reviews

Best book on the market and now better than ever
As a whisky lover, I can honestly say this is the most useful and knowledgeable guide to malt whisky on the market, one that will help guide you through the huge plethora of delicious malts being produced in Scotland (and further afield). And I'm delighted to say that it has been fully revised and updated with even more tasting notes.

Each malt is graded according to its sweetness, peatiness and cost which is much more meaningful than say Michael Jackson's somewhat arbitrary mark out of a hundred that he gives each whisky. With labels for each malt reproduced in full colour and published in a handy pocket format, this is a must for anyone who loves drinking Scotland's amber nectar.
