Product Description
Product Description
Many people have tried whisky but are not sure what's a malt and what's a blend - Many people buy whisky as a present, unconfident about what to give. Others know what they like, and are keen to try more, but the range and choice is confusing, and the advice can be subjective, especially in supermarkets. This book, based on Wallace Milroy's bestselling original Malt Whisky Almanac*, co-written with whisky writer Neil Wilson, describes regional styles and individual distillery characteristics which will enable you to make a more informed choice about which whiskies to try and buy. Whisky in Your Pocket details the malt whisky industry in Scotland, and Bushmills in Northern Ireland, (Islay's most southerly distillery) and also gives a brief overview of other distilleries. There are over 120 distilleries in the UK, with a growing number of countries making whisky today - England, Wales, Japan, Taiwan, India, USA, Canada, Sweden, Germany, New Zealand, Ireland, Korea to name but a few. With this book you will have a good understanding of the industry and what to buy. (*over 300,000 copies sold)

Hugely respected for their plain speaking and great knowledge of whisky, they are admired internationally for their simplicity, clarity and plain speaking.

Format:Hardcover
The Malt Whisky Almanac by Wallace Milroy always has been one of my favorites: always at hand in my pocket. So I'm very glad that, at last, there is an updated Whisky in Your Pocket now, with more entries (grains and blends as well).
Format:Hardcover
Good source for brief info about distillery but comment's part must be more correct and informative about distillery house style and important facts. For example, there is a lack of info regarding Aberlour distillery that they surpassed in 2008 Glenfiddich on the French market and thus became the single malt leader in France (the biggest market for Scotch whisky). Instead of placing above mentioned comment we read that Aberlour - a well-established, award-winning malt from Speyside. No nothing - a vacuous comments.
