This volume portrays 200 whiskies from around the world--from Scotland and Ireland through the rest of Europe to the USA and Canada, as well as the Far East, Australia and New Zealand.

Each brand is presented with beautiful photography and detailed information about the region where it is made, its producer, its history, and of course, its unique taste. Each presentation culminates in specific "Tasting Notes" for the whisky at hand, designed to provide some guidance in making selections among the almost overwhelming array of whiskies available. Beautifully illustrated, this book sings the praises of whisky as a long-standing part of our culture, something that is still handcrafted with great dedication and carefully tended for years before it reaches the marketplace.
