As I continue enriching my knowledge within the world of spirits, I would like to impart some of the books, blogs and writers that I read and extract my information.
Once in a while, I'll stop into a bookstore and treat myself to a new publication. My most recent purchase has proven to be one of my smartest investments. Charles Maclean's Whiskypedia is perfect for any scotch lover who seeks to learn about the liquor on a more in depth level. Just like an encyclopedia, Maclean has complied profiles on 137 distilleries of Scottish malt and grain whisky. He covers basic distillery and product information, historical background, and statistics.
As a scotch enthusiast, this book is the perfect companion as I explore new varieties and brands. Maclean guides his readers through the aromas, tastes and intricacies of the scotches that might be overlooked by most drinkers. I particularly love learning about where the scotches are produced, the process by which they are distilled and their relevance within their local community.
If scotch is your preference, pick up a copy of this book, scroll through and tab every scotch you have tried thus far. This technique has allowed me to focus more on scotches that I neither heard about nor tasted.
You can find Whiskypedia at your local bookstore or order it on amazon.com here
