Himmat: This book is excellent. It was whisky bible for whisky lovers during 1990s. But its reviews are no longer relevant for todays whiskies. After 20-25 years whiskies have changed. Most of the whiskies have been repackaged and relaunched by distillers.

Lightworker USA: Since we're retired now, we have nice leisure time in the evenings in the living room, in our chairs. My husband has always enjoyed Scotch, and so he'll have 2 or 3 fingers of Scotch of an evening with his church warden's pipe, which smells really nice. He is SO hard to buy for, so I got a wild hair, and got him a bottle of single malt Scotch Whiskey. (Only whiskey from Scotland has the 'e' - every other one is 'whisky.') Since that first bottle, I've found a website where I can browse different single malt Scotches from different regions of Scotland. I can look at the area it's from, what distillery, what grain they malt, all kinds of information. When I looked at this book, I saw it has detailed descriptions of the taste of different Whiskeys, (which make no sense to me). So I bought this book. It really helps make sense of these taste descriptions, why a given Whiskey is so peaty, or smoky, and so forth. So when I ask him if this bottle or that bottle smells and tastes better, I can look it up, and see what characteristics that Scotch has. I can make more educated choices about what single malt Scotch Whiskey I want to get for him next. This is an excellent reference book, easy...

JaminCycling: There are a few Scotch Whiskey books on the market, and many of them comparable to this. The critical differentiator for this book however, is you are not going to see any blends in here, only single malt. And from my perspective, that is fine! You are also not going to get every variation from each distillery, just the ones that Michael has tried. But I'll tell you, he's tried a lot. So you've got some distilleries where he's only got one whiskey he has rated, but may be the most well know, or common. I rarely came upon a distillery where his tastings didn't coincide with the vast majority of what they were offering, then he would have a couple rare ones you couldn't find, and they would have some he hadn't tasted.

Some people like this, some people don't, but what I liked was the historical and scenic descriptions of the distilleries. Because I was going there, and not just drinking them, I wanted to know which were the best to visit, which had "pour your own bottle" options, and which weren't open to the public. This was EXTREMELY helpful. I just carried this book in my bag and would make notes in it everywhere I was drinking whisky. Now it sits on my bar and is my go to...

R. Barry Lyndon: (This is a review of the latest 6th Edition, published in 2010)

Michael Jackson died in 2007 and his book had not been updated since 2004. The malt whisky industry has changed greatly since then. The goal of these three editors was to update Michael's classic book while trying to do it as he would have himself.

The layout of the book is in alphabetical order by distillery. There is a short half-page introduction to each distillery, a sentence on the distillery's house style, followed by very short reviews and ratings of several whiskies from the distillery. Many reviews also include a picture of the bottle label. The beginning of the book starts with a general introduction to whisky, left mostly untouched from how Michael wrote it.

The editors say that their goal was to keep as many of Michael's original reviews as possible, while updating them with reviews of new whiskies and removing outdated whiskies. The introduction says that two-thirds of the reviews are new, but I also found many of Michael's iconic tasting notes still in the book. The authors have intentionally changed very little in The Macallan section due to Michael's special affection for The...
