This fourth edition of Collins Gem Whisky proves that whisky continues to attract many interested followers, from those with experienced palates, who have very definite ideas on what they like and often are prepared to pay plenty to get it, to beginners, who possibly feel intimidated by the range and breadth of choice available and are unsure of where to start. Entries for over 150 whiskies and the distilleries that produce them, complete with details of age, strength and taste rating and comment, plus histories and visitor arrangements Information on single and vatted malts, grain and de luxe whiskies, and the most popular blends Sections on the history of Scotch Whisky-making, how Scotch whisky is made, its regional characteristics, reading whisky labels and how to develop the palate

Good coverage...,
By Avaksi (Tustin, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whisky (Paperback)
There are a couple of hundred books on Whisky on the bookshelves nowadays but most of them delve too deeply or too lightly into the subject. This book tries to take the middle road by opening with a general process and background and then coverin each region one by one. But in the end this companion falls into the 'Light' category. Even then it is a great buy for the price as it covers most of the Whisky's you would ever lay your eyes on and covers then in a succinct one page each...
