WHY THIS BOOK?
Understand whisky beyond labels and marketing.
Whisky is often presented through brands, distilleries and age statements. This book takes a different approach.
Instead of focusing on individual bottles, 37 Styles of Whisky explores the styles, traditions and production methods that shape the whisky world. From smoky island malts and sherry-aged classics to grain whisky, rye whiskey and emerging world whisky traditions, the book provides a structured framework for understanding whisky beyond labels and marketing.
Designed for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts, it offers a clear and engaging guide to the diversity of whisky.
"Every whisky is a journey of discovery."
Origin, production and maturation shape the flavours in the glass.
