Ritigo: Winner between Whisky books. You buy whisky, and you can be almost sure you find it there and read about it, with professional advises.
Very glad! Exactly what I was searching for!

Carmoon: Bought this for my husband who is a whiskey connoisseur. He’s visited numerous distilleries and attends all the whiskey fairs around the country. Struggling to find a book he hasn’t read but he couldn’t put this book down, said it was absolutely fantastic. Full of facts he didn’t know and interesting stories of the history of whiskey

A. Cole: I bought this book as a 2017 Christmas present for my husband. He loves going out with his son trying different brands of very expensive scotch ($35 - $50 for a rock-glass shot). I thought it would be nice if he was educated on the history and types of scotch, etc., to help narrow down his selections when he went out. Well, my husband loves the book for all the reasons I gave it to him and for the photography as well. I recommend this book for discriminating drinkers in your life; it's much more than just an interesting looking coffee table book.

Christopher Barrett: This is not an in depth analysis of whisky producers or styles. For that I would recommend adding "Tasting Whiskey" by Lew Bryson to this text for a better evaluation of styles and regions. This text alone serves as a wonderful, though broad view of the world of whisky. There are sections on whiskies from Taiwan, South America, Australia, and so many other places where whisky is produced - though gladly the text devotes little to these regions other than a mention of a few producers and a look at the region. No, instead this book focuses on Scotch, Bourbon, Japanese, and Canadian (and US whisky other than Bourbon). I found that the section on Japanese was just right while I think Scotch and Bourbon could have used more pages. That being said, the section on Scotch is quite thick... but there is a lot of Scotch out there! And so many of the distilleries are very old with tons of history. And whisky truly is about the actual distillery more than anything else.

But that is a small nitpick. The book is massive and there is a ton of reading and some wonderful photographs. And the book typically focuses on the standard products for each distillery rather than get into the rare...

Rob: This is an incredible book on whisky. Admittedly new to learning the language of whisky (but not new to drinking whisky ;-)), Mr. Broom has provided me with several new ways to verbalize what I could only internalize (no pun intended, okay, maybe accidentally) before. And the breadth of whiskies included is overwhelming. I can only cry knowing now that I missed the boat on buying Japanese (yes, Japanese) whisky before it became very, very expensive. Finding my own personal whisky and comparing that to the description Mr. Broom gave for those from Japan, well, I only hope that my tears didn't ruin those pages of my book.

Great book! Also definitely a great gift idea for someone who really enjoys and has an interest in whisky. Scotland, whisky, and golf--coincidence? I think not.
