Product Description
Product Description
This fourth edition of "Collins Gem Whisky" proves that whisky continues to attract many interested followers, from those with experienced palates, who have very definite ideas on what they like and often are prepared to pay plenty to get it, to beginners, who possibly feel intimidated by the range and breadth of choice available and are unsure of where to start. The features of this guide include: entries for over 150 whiskies and the distilleries that produce them, complete with details of age, strength and taste rating and comment, plus histories and visitor arrangements; information on single and vatted malts, grain and de luxe whiskies, and the most popular blends; and sections on the history of Scotch Whisky-making, how Scotch whisky is made, its regional characteristics, reading whisky labels and how to develop the palate.

Useful pocket reference,
By
This review is from: Whisky (Collins GEM) : (Paperback)
This little volume fits neatly in your pocket for quick and easy reference when in the pub, bar or other outlet with more than just rudimentary selection of whiskies on offer. Coverage of each whisky is not extensive but is sufficient for making a decision on whether to sample or to abstain. For those who need to make an even quicker decision than what can be concluded from the text, each whisky description is also accompanied by a highlight giving the core facts of age, strength (%) and taste rating (1-5, mild to robust).

A Little Gem,
By
This review is from: Collins Gem - Whisky (Paperback)
This Collins gem is fun to read and very informative. It provides background on how whiskies are made and each whisky listed has a grading between 1-5 based on quality of taste. Also has helpful advice on the suitability of which whisky is for beginners to seasoned imbibers and specialists. Each page has a glossy picture of the product with interesting background histories.
