The Whiskey Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Finest Whiskies Paperback – April 29, 2008

My husband absolutely LOVES this book. Excellent articles and it even includes phone numbers and locations for every whiskey discussed. The book was in great condition and arrived very quickly.

Book is perfect for anyone that enjoys Whisky!My husband loved this gift. He is a true whisky lover and this book really shows a variety of whisky manufacturers

I've been learning about Scotch Whisky and picked up this book as a counter-reference to some other books on the subject, and as a "second opinion" I thought it did well. However, while there is a lot of useful info in here, the focus was a bit narrow; There are overviews of the major whisky distilleries, and tasting notes of one (sometimes two) bottlings, but this book is by no means exhaustive.I should also point out that everyone's palate is different, and having Ms. Arthur's tasting notes was very valuable because her notes occasionally run different from my other sources, giving me a broader spectrum to compare against when deciding whether to buy a bottle of scotch untried. For example, I dislike too much peat in my scotch, and having a second or third source makes it more likely I'd get some good pointers from at least one of them. This book is very useful in that regard.

Wonderful book full of information. A must have for anyone trying to start a collection or looking to begin their adventure into great whiskey.

It's not a whiskey bible but is certainly a nice light read on whiskeys. A nice coffee table addition near your whiskey selection to flick through periodically.

Good read. History of distillers was fascinating.

It's an interesting read

I've always been a whiskey fan and this book introduced me to brands and makes that I otherwise would have never heard of before.
