'whisky's finest guru' - The Sunday Times 'Charles MacLean writes like no other expert on the subject. His prose is informed and highly entertaining' - The Independent This abridged digital edition of Charles MacLean's best-selling Whiskypedia: A Gazetteer of Scotch Whisky serves as an easy introduction to Scotch whisky which offers a quick guide to the flavour and character of every malt whisky distilled in Scotland with reference to how it is made. Each entry includes a short biography of each brand, its style, mature character, a couple of suggestions of other whiskies with a broadly similar flavour profile, the raw materials that go into the production of each brand, a note on the kinds of casks used and a list of current and recent bottlings released by the distillery. Also included are an ingenious Flavour Map and Flavour Wheel. This is a wholly new approach to understanding and enjoying Scotch malt whisky, by the foremost authority on the subject.
