No national drink enjoys such international popularity as Scotch whisky. Here you will find everything you need to know about this distinctive and varied beverage, from the top single malts to the mass market blends. The first part of this fascinating book provides a history of Scotch whisky, starting with the early days of illegal stills, through the Industrial Revolution and legalization, to the companies which have made the whisky industry what it is today. Alongside, there is a detailed description of the two types of whisky – malt and grain – plus explanations of how they are made and hints on tasting and drinking whisky. The second part contains a directory of the different brands, including information about its age, the distiller’s address and the markets it is sold into, in addition to tasting notes on colour, aroma and flavour. Illustrated with over 150 colour and black & white photographs, labels and line drawings, this comprehensive survey is packed with information which will appeal to the layman and connoisseur alike.
