Non-Fiction

A very useful guide to Scotch. It goes into detail of the various areas that the fine liquid comes from, and the differences between them. You get tasting information, and it also serves as a nice long list of things to try and get a taste of. A tasting session and scoring is detailed at the end.

Great book for naming your Scottish Terrier puppy.........

Excellent information and background on the scotch whiskey. They all sounded delicious. However, I could not find any description of the Glenfidicch.
