An authority on Scotch whisky
An ideal addition to a collection of whisky books for beginners or whisky distilling books
Fantastic gift for any whisky lovers

Have you ever wondered why Scotch whisky tastes the way it does? Have you ever questioned the history of whisky and how its flavor notes have changed over the years? If so, then this book is for you! The flavor of Scotch whisky is influenced by a combination of history, craft, science, and tradition. Whether it is single malt Scotch whisky, dalmore whisky, or peat whisky, you will learn something about it in this book.

This book on scotch is also a compendium of curiosities! Learn about bottles of scotch, including orbit bottle labels, whiskey green labels, and more. Whiskypedia also outlines information about individual distilleries. Each one provides their whiskies with unique characteristics. They are grounded in the craft and custom of the distillery and its district, but the real key influences on the flavor are how the spirit is matured, the distilling equipment itself, and how the distilling equipment is operated. This guide explores all of those influences and more.

Whiskypedia is the first comprehensive source of the flavor and character of every malt whisky in Scotland. Written by Charles MacLean, “a world authority on malt whisky” (Daily Telegraph), shares his wisdom throughout this book. The history of Scotch whisky and information on Scotch distilling are also included. John MacPherson’s stunning photos compliment the text well. This is an ideal book about Scotch for any whisky fan.

Review

“Charles MacLean is a world authority on malt whisky.”—Daily Telegraph

“The untimely death of beer and spirits writer Michael Jackson in 2007 makes the eminent MacLean’s work more important than ever. Serious drinkers—this is not a book for beginners—can ask for no better guide.” —Keir Graff, Booklist --This text refers to the paperback edition.

About the Author

Charles MacLean has spent almost thirty years researching, writing, and lecturing about Scotch whisky. Whiskypedia is the result of his deep immersion in the craft. He lives near Edinburgh, Scotland. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Very Informative

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2022

Brief introductions to virtually every distillery you've ever heard of. Offers basic info on water sources, distillery equipment and processes, sources of ingredients, and so on. More than just a reference or technical volume, you also get a concise history of each producer, (including chain of ownership/management), a winking review of their marketing baloney, and perceptive analyses of their various house styles. A very satisfactory and entertaining volume.

Great book overall

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

Overall I really loved this book I take it with me to the liquor store to help me pick out good whiskys on occasion.
However the 1 huge flaw in this books is that they do not accurately describe the taste of the different variations of the same whisky makers. For example Spring bank 10 14 and 17 are all different but this books only has 1 description.

The cover is a little bit dirty

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2022

The content is fine, though I am not a expert of whisky so can not really comment lot about it.
But the book that been delivered is kind of old and dirty, and may even say a little bit shabby.
