Ratings and reviews

A beautifully-presented and informative guide to whiskey. Chock-full of informative facts, interesting history and useful tidbits of knowledge. The book features a beautiful and attractive layout of text and images. Covers the full gamut of whiskies from around the world -- American, Canadian, Scotch, Irish and Japanese. Makes a great gift for the whiskey/whisky aficionado and connoisseur, or, anyone who wants to learn more about the "water of life." A+.

I don't read books, let's alone buy them. This was a delight to do both! I savored every drop and now savor my whiskey even more!!!!

Unfortunately.. I can't load this book to my NOOK... Any book that educates us in Whisky is always an interesting read..
