Synopsis
A revised edition of the 1930 Scottish classic guide, edited by the international bestselling author of 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die. This is—in the opinion of many whisky writers and experts—the finest whisky book ever written. It is certainly the first written from the point of view of the consumer and is thus historically significant. But more than that, poetic and polemic in style and with its emphasis on the importance of single malt whisky and its concern to protect and inform the consumer, it remains fresh and relevant to the interests of today&’s whisky drinker. It is a remarkably prophetic book, and with Ian Buxton&’s shrewd commentary and analysis, combined for the first time with period illustrations, it is brought bang up to date for today&’s generations of whisky aficionados. &“The finest whisky book ever.&” —Dave Broom &“This is a small volume but there are plenty who will love it. It is airy, witty, full of sound knowledge and practical wisdom.&” —The New York Times &“If I could take only one whisky book to a desert island it would be Aeneas MacDonald's Whisky.&” —Charles MacLean &“Among the generous pour of publishings to please whisky fans, one stand-out is a long-awaited new edition of Whisky by Aeneas MacDonald . . . . [h]is literary musings on matters of malt and more, first published in 1930, are widely hailed as among the best writing on the subject. The new edition features period illustrations and an appreciation by writer Ian Buxton, who was instrumental in bringing the book to the masses.&” —The Herald (UK)
