Product Description

Product Description

In order to brew quality malt whisky, you need three things: barley, dry peat, and the water that flows along the green fields of Scotland, the home of this “liquid gold.” Add to that a few family secrets and a whole lot of patience, and the result is one of the many fine whiskies that has, for centuries, been delighting both amateurs and connoisseurs alike, the world over. “Scotts Wha Hae!” (“We Are Scottish”), for urban and rural Scots alike, is something of a definition and a national anthem for many. Most of them wouldn’t miss, for anything in the world, a “Burns” dinner, complete with a “pure malt” to honor the memory of the jolly folks that proclaim that whisky and freedom go together. Whisky is one of Scotland’s signature offerings, and it makes a nation proud.

Utter nonsense, this book should be withdrawn ! 19 Jan 2012
By Piet M Patings - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Readers that want to learn about whisky, get plenty of fully wrong and sometime ridiculous information about whisky, starting with the statement that whisky is produced by brewing (yes like beer !).

This already starts in the first two introduction sentences:
"In order to brew quality malt whisky, you need three things: barley, dry peat and water ..."
Whatever you do, this process and these ingredients will not produce whisky or whiskey.
What about yeast ? Well let us use rice !!!

On page 3 lots of new 'facts' for a whisky-aficionado such as myself:
"... In the Irish distilleries, barley, oat, wheat and rice used as malt ..."

Next page:
"Specific yeasts are put in the draff and help fermentation (The process of breaking down the nutrients in the draff).

Better stop reading now.
Sorry Mr. Constantin Cerbu but 'brewing' your own distillate is very different from distilling whisky, be it malt or grain, and composing a blend or not.

Excellent book for both whisky fans and insiders who want to know even more 4 Dec 2011
By Arch - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
You will enjoy reading this book because the author has a wonderful style of mixing both short and interesting "did you know that..." type of information with more technical details about producing whisky, though explained in an accessible writing style for both connoisseurs and unknowingly fans who have some chemistry knowledge. The author's favorite is single malt and he has been producing it for many years now, "home-made" for family and friends. He retells a bit about the recipe and about how he makes it, together with more spicy details about the history and stories an old spirit like whisky, has gathered along the years.
