Whisky Classified - Choosing Single Malts by Flavour by David Wishart
The conventional way to classify Scotch malt whiskies is by region - Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay and Campbeltown. But knowing where they are made doesn't explain how they taste. Not all Islay malts taste like a classic, smoky Islay. Some Speysiders are light and delicate, whereas others are rich and fruity. There are only three distilleries now operating in the Lowland region, and they are nearly 100 miles apart - this hardly describes an appellation or terroir. The Highland ranges from Glengoyne to Highland Park, 300 miles apart - both by distance and flavour!
Whisky Classified aims to help the newcomer navigate through the maze of single malt whiskies now available in the off-licence, liquor store and supermarket. If you like a particular malt whisky, then it tells you what other brands taste similar. On the other hand, if you want to diversify your collection, it helps you choose a range of malts that taste different.
In this revised and updated anniversary edition, Dr Wishart has included all the new UK and Irish producers of single malt whisky that have emerged in the last 10 years. The author has also updated the taste profiles for each selected malt and reviewed previous entries to ensure that this book remains the definitive guide to tasting malt whisky. Also included is a free Whisky Analyst CD Rom
