Michael Jackson - Author

£16.99

Do you know your Mortlach from your Miltonduff? A Glenfiddich from a Glenlugie? Find out the differences in Michael Jackson's new edition of his celebrated guide to single malts - the best-selling Malt Whisky book in the world!

Introduction

This is the long-awaited fully revised, expanded, and updated fifth edition of the bestselling Michael Jackson's Malt Whisky Companion.

Michael Jackson is acknowledged as the world authority on malt whisky - and his new trade mark, The Whisky Chaser, will soon become familiar to whisky drinkers the world over. During the last two years, Michael Jackson has revisited every distillery producing single malts, and the information found in his A-Z of distilleries reflects these in-depth researches.

Also included with each entry are Michael Jackson's engrossing tasting notes (close on 1,000 for this edition) - and his highly-regarded scorings for every new bottling or expression of single malt that has appeared since the last edition in 1999.

Michael has also written a masterly new introduction that reflects his most recent researches into the development of the spirit's flavours, its origins, and the story of production of whisky from earliest times to the present day.

• Includes specially commissioned photography and unique pictures taken inside little-seen distilleries
• Suggests food and whisky pairings
