Scotch: The Complete Guide to Scotland’s Single Malt, Single Grain & Blended Whiskies
With detailed profiles of all major distilleries and tasting notes for hundreds of bottles, this is the ultimate scotch companion.
Scotch whisky comes only from Scotland, but the category contains numerous different styles, and this comprehensive volume is the first to cover them all. From the emergence of the spirit in the late 1400s, through the first distillery to receive a commercial license (Glenlivet in 1824), to today’s cutting-edge expressions, Scotch explores the land, distilleries, bottlers, and many varieties of whisky, including coveted single malts, popular blends, and scotch liqueurs such as Drambuie. It’s the definitive book on the subject.
