Riassunto

An authoritative beginner's guide cutting straight through the mystery, myth, and complex-sounding terminology

Offering 200 recommended whiskies to try from around the world, with original tasting notes, this is a true beginner's guide providing a clear insight into the modern world of whiskey in a way that's never been done before. The book covers not just famous Highland malts, Irish pot still whiskeys, and American bourbons, but also whiskies from South East Asia, Japan, and Canada, as well as from many other producing countries, ranging from Wales through to Taiwan. There is advice on how to nose, taste, and savor; how to organize a whiskey tasting; which glassware to use; a selection of classic whiskey cocktails; and advice on food pairings. Whiskey bars from China to Norway to the U.S. are listed, as well as specialist retailers. Includes dual measures.

Recensione

an excellent introduction to whisky for consumers wanting to find out more about a taste they ve discovered, or want to discover, and also for bar staff seeking to be better informed, or even to source a wider range of whiskies. Buy it, enjoy it, and retain it for reference! --Hospitality and Catering News, April 2013

Many books are stuffy, confusing, stale old things, meant for snifter-swirling experts, not the baffled novice. This one...is informative, accessible and fun. Profiles of must-try drops from around the world make this book as fascinating for those with whisky knowledge as it is for total beginners --Food & Travel magazine, June issue

wonderfully comprehensive whisky encyclopaedia which lists products from all over the world and is made even more attractive with its exceptionally beautiful photographs. Suitable for the uninitiated, this guide is short on flannel and long on facts. It definitely manages to live up to its promise of demystifying whisky without taking away the magic --Scottish Field magazine, June issue

A lovely book to pack on a tasting excursion, or simply to sit with and read beside a roaring wood fire in the winter months --The Keeper (The Magazine of The Keepers of the Quaich), summer 2013

A clear jargon-free guide to understanding and exploring whisky - provides enough knowledge to feel confident talking about whisky and inspiration for choosing which whiskies to stock behind the bar. --Bar magazine, June issue
