This was the first book to give single malt scotch the systematic, in-depth treatment reserved for wine. It will help you to discover the differences between the ”lightly earthy, nutty” palate of the 10-year-old Fettercairn; the ”elegant, dry” 10-year-old Glenfarclas; the ”full, smooth” body of the 1971 Millburn; & the ”sweetish, gingery, warming” finish of the 12-year-old Oban malts. Illustrated with photos & labels, this book is written in an entertaining style by Michael Jackson, an expert on alcoholic beverages. The essential reference for the discerning scotch drinker, & for those about to begin their exploration into the pleasures of single malt whiskies.
