Single male scotches are the world’s premier whiskies and all of them have their own distinctive characteristics. The Malt Whisky Companion is the first book to give them the systematic in-depth treatment hitherto reserved for wine. This book will inspire the reader to discover the difference between the “nutty, toffeeish, but never sweet”, palate of the
8-year-old Fettercairn; the “elegant, dry” 10-year-old Glenfarclas; the” rich sherry aroma” of the 1966
Millburn; and the “peppery grand finale” of the 1970 Oban malts. Fully illustrated with photographs, and Labels, The Malt Whisky Companion is written in a highly evocative and entertaining, yet authoritative style, by Michael Jackson, author of the award-winning WorldGuide to Whisky. This is the essential reference book for the discerning whisky drinker, or those about to start their exploration into its pleasures.
