Pocket Guide to Scotch Whisky by Charles Maclean
First published in 1993, this is the fourth edition of this invaluable, comprehensive, and authoritative guide to the vast range of whisky styles and distilleries in Scotland. Essential reference for anyone interested in whisky, the book explores how this world-famous spirit is made and explains the differences in character and style depending on where it is made. Divided into two sections covering malt whisky and blended whisky, there are easy-to-follow, A-Z listings detailing where the whisky is produced, the distiller and owner, and the author's own style reference points. At the back of the book are useful, practical notes about visiting distilleries and collecting whisky.
