Whisk(e)y

The traditional whisk(e)y-producing nations are Scotland and Canada, where the spelling is "whisky," and Ireland and the United States, where it is spelled "whiskey." Featuring thousands of entries covering every conceivable topic on whisk(e)ys from around the world, Whisk(e)y is the comprehensive handbook for the whisk(e)y aficionado and novice alike. Fully revised and updated, this new edition of Whisk(e)y also pays special attention to the craft spirits boom that has swept the globe, highlighting small producers alongside household names.

Stefan Gabanyi's fascinating text presents information alphabetically by subject, including both the traditional and new whisk(e)y-producing regions of the world, different types of whisk(e)y, production methods, distillers, bottlers, parent companies, and individual brands-from single malts and classic blends to increasingly popular single-barrel bourbons.

The intriguing history of whisk(e)y is woven throughout, as is the most up-to-date information, including the most recent developments in the industry and a complete listing of brands and companies by country. With so much information, alongside charming illustrations by Gunter Mattei, this handsome volume is a must-have for all whisk(e)y lovers.
