Our February Book Of The Month is Whiskeypedia: A Compendium Of Scotch Whiskey by Charles MacLean – an excellent guide to Scotch whiskeys.
If you’re facing shelves packed with strangers when walking the whiskey aisle, it’s time to make friends! Whiskeypedia introduces virtually every Scotch whiskey label you might find, providing background on the distillery and information about their production methods and products.
If you’re just starting your whiskey adventures and want to develop an understanding of whiskey’s history, tastes and aromas, Whiskeypedia is an excellent primer. A guide to aromas and a Whiskey Wheel (similar to the commonly-used wine wheel) are provided at the beginning, plus a Historical Overview that explains the origins of Scotch whiskey and its development.
Best of all, Whiskeypedia provides in-depth information about specific brands and their products, helping guide whiskey adventurers at all experience levels toward styles and flavors they are likely to enjoy.
Charles MacLean, considered the world’s leading whiskey advocate, is a speaker and the author of over ten books about whiskey.
Available in paperback on Amazon.com.
