Customer Reviews

If you enjoy hard to find Scotch - this should be your companion!

An excellent text; nicely consolidated and very detailed. If you enjoy the Scotch beverage, and single malts, then this is the book for you. The entire scene in Scotland has really changed over the past ten years - a lot of houses no longer malt their own grain - this book provides you detailed history about ALL of the distillers in Scotland including style and production notes for each house. A great Scotch companion book!

Handy "field guide" to single malt scotch

I already have this book and am buying a copy for a friend who also enjoys single malt scotch. The coverage is probably not comprehensive, and the descriptions are brief, but I find this a good introduction to the regions, the distilleries, and their products. There is some history and anecdotal information, which adds to the interest. The "peatiness" ranking and the information on availability and price are especially helpful.
