About The Pocket Guide To Whisky: Featuring The Whisky
Product Description The ever-expanding world of whisky can be a daunting one, with a deluge of new brands, distilleries and literature on the subject making it all but impossible for the amateur whisky drinker to find their way. Blair Bowman provides a compact and accessible, easy-to-use guide to help budding whisky enthusiasts on their way. The Pocket Guide to Whisky explores every kind of whisky, from the well-known Scottish giants of Glenlivet, to the exotic Japanese Hibiki, and includes the ever-growing and hotly debated blended whiskies too! This little volume will tell you everything you need to know, from what to look for in whisky and what to avoid, to getting the best value for money to the perfect accompaniments to your dram and the ideal whisky for every occasion. Review the map focuses on flavours instead of regions, concentrating on the tastes and textures of the tipples … While the pocket-guide is clearly written with dipping in-and-out in mind or as a gift, it works really well too as a book to demolish in a single sitting' Scottish Field “The world of whisky, just like the world of wine, is vast and complex.
