The World Atlas of Whisky: More Than 350 Expressions Tasted - More Than 150 Distilleries Explored by Dave Broom
This is possibly the most comprehensive of the whisky books I've found on the market. While the whisky world has already moved on in the five or six years since its most recent update, most of the information is still relatively up to date. Irish whiskey, of course, has transformed utterly in the past few years, but who could have predicted that?
The Scotch information is incredibly detailed and almost obsessively complete, of course, because... Well, because people seem to really only care show more about Scotch? The American section is pretty good, and the world whisky section is decent.
The Japanese section, though, is sadly still caught in the "mysterious orient" trap, although the actual whisky talk is great.
A real must have these days. show less
