More than just a 'guide' to whisky, this is an essential book for buffs and a fantastic read for those of us whose whisky knowledge only extends to not putting mixers in a malt...

As well as exploring long-lost malts, MacDonald remains startlingly relevant. First published in 1930, this little book began whisky's renaissance, through MacDonald's sense of what it means to be Scottish; his passionate discussion of why whisky—especially good whisky—matters, and his notes on how, when and why to drink whisky.

Whisky will attract wide attention from fervent whisky enthusiasts and casual dram-takers alike, promising to be the most important whisky reprint ever.
