Whisky Manual Tim Hampson

Marc Notes: Whisky comes in many forms and flavours, and has been a part of man's social history for centuries. Although many people are familiar with scotch whisky and American bourbon, whisky is in fact distilled around the world in locations as diverse as Norway, Corsica and India, leading to a diverse range of styles and tastes. This down-to-earth, illustrated book brings the Haynes Manual approach to the world of whisky, providing a fascinating insight into how whiskies and distilling techniques have developed around the world, and offering practical advice on how to buy and enjoy whisky, and even how to blend whisky at home.
