101 WORLD WHISKIES TO TRY BEFORE YOU DIE is the companion guide to 2010's 101 WHISKIES TO TRY BEFORE YOU DIE. Ian Buxton again eschews the obvious whiskies and recommends another 101 whiskies that he believes every whisky lover should taste.
In Ian Buxton's new collection of whisky recommendations he has cast his net wider. He includes not only whiskies from the established whisky-producing countries, but also many newcomers. The book includes whiskies from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, India, Ireland, Japan, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, USA and Wales.
All the whiskies included are both affordable and accessible. Ian Buxton does not believe in collecting whiskies or investing in whisky. He believes in tasting and enjoying the huge range of whiskies that are available. The book includes single malts and blends - and provocatively a few renegade suggestions that are bound to offend purists.

Presumably working on the basis that "if it's not broken, why fix it", whisky writer Ian Buxton has just published the follow-up to his best seller "101 Whiskies To Try Before You Die". His new volume now broadens our horizons to take in "101 World Whiskies To Try Before You Die" and must be the result of a great deal of. research and dogged detective work to track down what I presume are some of the more obscure offerings, say from Tasmania or South Africa.
As before, Mr Buxton provides helpful accompanying background information on the people and enterprises producing the whiskies alongwith brief tasting notes, all contained comfortably and clearly within a single page format opposite a picture of the whisky itself.
While I would be more than happy attempting to try all of the 101 World Whiskies he suggests before I died, it probably is (almost) a viable proposition. I'm aware however of other whisky tomes that have jumped on the "Try Before You Die Bandwagon". Some have gone as far as suggesting a mind numbing, bankruptcy inducing 1001 Whiskies to try. That's all very well, but Mr Buxton. has presumably taken his time to select a varied and representative sample of what's on offer from around the world and brought them together in this, concise, gem of a book.
As before, some will argue that their favourite tipple of such and such should have been included, just as I did when the original book was published. However that's part of the joy - coming across new whiskies that may be worth a try and being prepared for a few surprises along the way.
The book is again a handy "pocket size", useful for taking along to tasting sessions with friends or to pick up and read at the end of a hard day with a dram in hand.
This is a little "Aladdin's Cave" of a book that contains a wealth of information in it's pages and is a serious contender when searching for information on what's on offer these days in the World of Whiskies that extends beyond Scotch and Rye.
I can highly recommend this book and it's predecessor.

A well written book which is easy to read and entices you along the way. The compact format means that you can easily slip it into your pocket, just to make sure that you are ordering the right dram! or as I have done, take it on your phone in the Kindle format - brilliant.
I have only, so far, tried a small number of the whiskies listed but am looking forward to completing the journey and finishing all 101 of them - slange

Excellent book and very revealing as to different whiskies from around the world and their availability, very well written and just as good as his first book and I think as he does not use a scoring system but gives his views of the whiskies to me it is more valuable that other books about whisky because it is more about enjoying them than classifying them

So many whiskies, not enough time
A really good read. I wasn't aware just how many countries produce whiskies. It's going to be a hard job working my way through this book, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Should really be - '69 World Whiskies to Try Before You Die'
While the coverage of each individual whisky is, as in the volume before, excellent, as I see it the book does not really deal exclusively with 'World Whiskies'. Read more
