Its fabrication often a closely guarded family secret, there is nothing more warming than a finger or two of whisky on a cold winter's night. Perhaps this is why the Scots, with their harsh climate, have come to produce such exquisite pure malts and blends over the centuries. Yet there are other traditions of whisky-making: Ireland, the United States (Bourbon), and, more surprisingly, Japan have all produced fine whiskies. The Little Book of Whisky is an informative and handy guide, covering a wide range of issues related to whisky and whisky drinking, in an easy-to-understand alphabetical format with extensive cross-referencing. From Age (vital in determining the quality of a whisky) to Whiskey (the extra e proves the drink is Irish), discover with The Little Book of Whisky the history of whisky, the industry that grew up around it, and the men who dedicated their lives to producing this extraordinary drink. The guide includes a bibliography and buyer's guide for those who wish to find out more, and to sample the full range of great whiskies.
Thoroughly researched, with full-color illustrations on every page and a unique color-coding system for entries, The Little Book of Whisky will enchant all those who appreciate the glories of a fine single malt, bourbon, or, who knows, Japanese Karuizawa or Yamazaki.
