Riassunto

First published in 1993, this is the fifth edition of the most invaluable, comprehensive, and authoritative guide to Scotland's vast range of whisky styles and distilleries. It's an essential reference for anyone interested in whisky, with an in-depth exploration of how this world-famous spirit is made and explanations of how the drink's character and style vary depending on where it is produced. Divided into two sections-one that covers malt whisky and the other blended varieties-the volume features easy-to-follow, A to Z listings detailing the whisky's place of origin, the distiller and owner, and the author's own style reference points. At the back are useful, practical notes about visiting distilleries and collecting whisky.
