The World Guide to Whisky: Scotch, Irish, Canadian Bourbon, Tennessee Sour Mash and the Whiskies of Japan Plus a Comprehensive Taste-Guide to Single

Rating:
Summary: Informative, entertaining, excellent.
Review: If you were looking for a book on whiskey, you could stop looking after you pick this up. While the author is an Englishman, he appreciates fine spirits from around the world and writes about them gracefully. Bourbons get their due as well as Lowland Scotch whiskies and Japanese brands rarely seen outside their native land. The text is accompanied by many colr photographs; this could almost be a tourist guide. My recommendation : buy this book (don't borrow it, you'll never return it), take it to a good liquor store, buy a whiskey that Mr Jackson likes, and drink it while rereading your favorite chapter.
