Discover all about whisky in this new and updated edition of the classic, definitive guide to malt whiskies from the late Michael Jackson. You'll learn everything you wanted to know about your favourite tipple, from why you should choose Islay, the Islands, or the Highlands, to which whiskies are light and flowery, or rich and treacly.

Find whisky tasting notes on over 1,000 malts arranged from A-Z, including vintages from 1926 onwards, plus there's information on the latest releases and brand new tasting notes from distilleries in the New World Whisky section. By describing the characteristics of each whisky, and giving it an overall score, this book helps you to identify whiskies that appeal to you and are worth tracking down.

Updated by whisky experts Dominic Roskrow and Gavin D. Smith
