Product Description

Book Description

Book Description
Finally! A book for the novice...
Contrary to popular belief, scotch is not just for old men sitting around stuffy country clubs...it’s the original luxury spirit and it’s now more popular than ever!

But for someone who wants to learn about scotch, it can be a little intimidating - overwhelming even - all those unfamiliar terms, different brands - the novice has no idea where to get started.

Most books on the topic are written for those already familiar with scotch and tend to concentrate on author ratings, distillery overviews, and tasting notes. They simply do not address the needs of someone new to scotch.

That’s where The Instant Expert’s Guide to Single Malt Scotch comes in.

Readers will learn: • How to read a scotch label. • How whisky is made, aged, and bottled. • The difference between blended scotch and single malts. • The difference between whisky & whiskey. • About the four primary whisky regions of Scotland. • How to taste scotch. • Most importantly, how to determine what they will like.

In the end, this book will equip readers with the fundamentals, enabling them to continue to explore the great taste of single malt scotch whisky on their own.

With new-found knowledge, what once seemed like an overwhelming number of choices will suddenly become an infinite number of unique possibilities to experience and enjoy! --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.



From the Publisher

Scotch whisky is seeing something of a renaissance these days, but there's no place to go for someone with an interest in trying single malt scotch. The author has taken years of experience giving tastings to novices and teaching bar & restaurant staff, and distilled it down into a slim volume. There is no extraneous information here - just what a new scotch drinker needs to get up to speed with all of the basic essentials. Enjoy! --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the scotch novice!!, 26 Feb 2006
Per the description of the book. This book IS written specifically for someone new to Scotch (like me). I found it to be informative, and I learned quite a bit!

I'm also not sure what the other reveiwer means by clip art as all of the illustrations are obviously from distilleries - the author even thanks them.

I don't quite get how someone buys a book that says it is for a novice and then complains that the book was too simple. Seems a bit bonkers to me.

Yes, if you know your stuff, this book is NOT for you, but then again, it wasn't meant to be was it?
