The ultimate guide to Scotch whisky. Why does Scotch whiskey taste as it does? Where do the flavors come from? How might they have changed over the years? The flavor of Scotch whiskey is as much influenced by history, craft and tradition as it is by science. Whiskypedia explores these influences. Introductory sections provide a historical overview, and an explanation of the contribution made by each stage of the production process. Each entry provides a brief account of the distillery's history and curiosities, lists the bottlings which are currently available, details how the whiskey is made, and explores the flavor and character of each make. Fully revised and updated edition with new entries on the latest distilleries at Portintruan, Uile-beist, Port of Leith, Jackton, Cabrach, Dunphail and Kythe.
