The best-selling Malt Whisky Guide in the world is now brought to you in a fully revised and expanded 5th edition. In the updated Malt Whisky Companion, Michael "the Whisky Chaser" Jackson has written a new introductory section, presenting his latest research on the origins and evolution of "the water of life," the nature of aromas and flavours and regional differences.
Michael Jackson is acknowledged as the world authority on malt whisky and since the last edition he has revisited every Scottish distillery, making his new book essential reading for the whisky connoisseur or anyone who is ready to discover the pleasures of whisky.
As in previous editions, the book's core is the comprehensive A-Z of Single Malts, arranged distillery by distillery. Each entry offers a new introduction and key information about each distillery and features Michael Jackson's evocative tasting notes and ratings on its range of malt whiskies.
