Wine, and French wine in particular, has a high profile but what of the Water of Life? The Connoisseur's Guide to Whisky tells the story of the other world famous and much celebrated drink. Whisky is revered and collected in the same way as fine wine and is enjoyed for its depth and character.

This amazing volume is a comprehensive directory of over 100 whiskies, including Scotch single malts and blended whiskies. This isn't a guide to Scotch; it encompasses whisky from the United States, Ireland and Japan. You'll learn how to taste whisky and appreciate the differences between, say, Irish and Scotch which are many and distinct, even to my unpractised palette!
