Summary: Finest book out there for the whisky lover.
Rating: 5
This is an outstanding book for the whisky lover. Primarily touching on Scotch Whiskies, the book also discusses Irish, Rye, Bourbon, Tennessee, Asian, and boutique brands.
The whiskies are arranged alphabetically with gorgeous pictures of the bottles of each whisky a several paragraph to full page description of the distillery from which the whisky originates (primarily for single malts). There are also short but concise and well written tasting notes for each whisky including information such as alcohol by volume.
Most every single brand, blend, or single malt I could think of is represented with only a few omissions, most certainly due to certain blends that may have been released only very recently.
There are also full color articles in the book expanding on topics of interest to the whisky lover from cask making to glass selection, peat harvesting, and more.
This is a wonderful book. It is a well written and beautiful book on whisky. The pages are all full color glossy on heavy bond paper. This hardbound is a definite addition for your home library or private bar.
