This review is from: The World Atlas of Whisky: More Than 350 Expressions Tasted - More Than 150 Distilleries Explored (Hardcover)
I found it to be very informative and well laid out. There's some great photography and history behind each distillery. However, I wasn't all that impressed with the reviews of the whisky, but still worth buying

Excellent,
By Tokyo Resident - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The World Atlas of Whisky: More Than 350 Expressions Tasted - More Than 150 Distilleries Explored (Hardcover)
The photographs are worth the book's price in themselves, but this book has a lot more to offer than that. I live in Japan and kid myself I know a bit about the country and its whisky, but the chapter on Japan taught me something on every page. Broom is absolutely sure in his knowledge of Japanese whisky but writes lyrically in a light easy-to-read style. The "flavor camp" classifications are a great idea, dividing whiskies according to simple, easy to understand characteristics (peaty and smoky etc.) and allowing the reader to cross reference whiskies of those types from across the world.

This review is from: The World Atlas of Whisky: More Than 350 Expressions Tasted - More Than 150 Distilleries Explored (Hardcover)
If you enjoy a fine Scotch or Bourbon like I do, then this book is for you. Packed with information and reviews on whiskey distilleries and their unique styles from around the world for your reading enjoyment. Most of us have purchased a bottle or two of whiskey, only to discover it was not to our liking. This book will help point you along the right path by use of flavor camps to help in selecting a whiskey you will enjoy. The flavor Map section shows you where the majority of Scotches fall in a grid, from Light to Rich and Delicate to Smokey. The flavor map associates a given whisky with one of five primary flavor profiles; Fragrant and Floral, Fruity and Spicy, Malty and Dry, Rich & Round and Smokey and Peaty. The distillation process and distillery choices are shown for Malt, Grain, Irish Pot-Still, Kentucky Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey. Whisky reviews with nosing and tasting notes from numerous distilleries are provided by Dave along with whisky suggestions to try next if you like a particular one you have tried. My book arrived within 3 days from Amazon.P.S. I also purchased the set of four Glencairn whiskey glasses from Amazon. They really do improve your ability to nose, taste and enjoy whiskey over ordinary tumbler glasses. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

The whisky graph was worth it on its own, very nice! Good book for any whisky drinker new or seasoned. Would have given 5 stars but the it seems to neglect other 'whiskey' such as bourbon.
