This is a perfect handbook when it comes to whiskies。 Now the book does a great job in covering most of the countries。 The whiskies range from USA to Scotland to India to Japan。 There isnt much about the taste and other aspects of liquor。 The more focus is on the historical data and also about the sales and other aspects。 It does a great job in being a reference book。

Nav jau tā， ka es šo izlasīju no vāka līdz vākam。 Apskatīju visu un izlasīju tikai atsevišķas sevi vairāk interesējošas lapas。 Redzētais un izlasītais mani apmierināja。Kopumā - nedomājiet， ka šie ir "izcilākie" viskiji， ar ko būtu domātas to īpašās garšas kvalitātes。 Te， laikam jau nolūkā sasniegt lielāku auditoriju， apkopoti ne tikai populārākie （ko būs dzēris vai katrs viskija cienītājs vai kaut tikai rets degustētājs）， bet arī vienkārši interesantākie， pie kuriem tā arī godīgi pierakstīts， ka Nav jau tā， ka es šo izlasīju no vāka līdz vākam。 Apskatīju visu un izlasīju tikai atsevišķas sevi vairāk interesējošas lapas。 Redzētais un izlasītais mani apmierināja。Kopumā - nedomājiet， ka šie ir "izcilākie" viskiji， ar ko būtu domātas to īpašās garšas kvalitātes。 Te， laikam jau nolūkā sasniegt lielāku auditoriju， apkopoti ne tikai populārākie （ko būs dzēris vai katrs viskija cienītājs vai kaut tikai rets degustētājs）， bet arī vienkārši interesantākie， pie kuriem tā arī godīgi pierakstīts， ka nekādu garšas baudījumu šeit variet negaidīt。 Līdz ar to ar "izcilākie" ir jāsaprot: populārākie， īpatnējākie un savdabīgākie retumis garšas， bet visbiežāk vizuālā noformējuma dēļ。Viskiji izkārtoti alfabēta secībā， bet aizmugurē ir patīkams šķirklis izmantošanai gan pēc ražotājvalstīm， gan viskiju tipiem。 Sniegtas arī pāris ekskursiju pa viskiju ražotnēm idejas。Nu jādodas izmēģināt kaut ko no Japānas！ :） 。。。more

This is a nice， small reference book with a focus on showcasing the breadth of international whiskey， including bottles from around the world: India， Japan， Canada， America， France， Denmark and elsewhere。 The Scottish selection does highlight the major manufacturers of single malts， including a number of releases from the Flora and Fauna series， but there is a significant focus on blended Scotch。 As you'd expect from a Dorling-Kindersley production， the photography is prominent and excellent - n This is a nice， small reference book with a focus on showcasing the breadth of international whiskey， including bottles from around the world: India， Japan， Canada， America， France， Denmark and elsewhere。 The Scottish selection does highlight the major manufacturers of single malts， including a number of releases from the Flora and Fauna series， but there is a significant focus on blended Scotch。 As you'd expect from a Dorling-Kindersley production， the photography is prominent and excellent - nice full clear shots of the bottles， in full colour， taking up half the page of detail。 My edition was printed in 2011， so some photos are a bit behind the times （e。g。 Kilchoman）， but not too out of date yet。The librarian in me appreciated the orderly A to Z organization of the book， and also it's marvelous rear indexes that list the whiskeys A-Z by Type （blends， bourbons， corn， rye， single malt， pot still）， and A-Z by Country （as mentioned， the global focus includes some lesser-known locales like Czech Republic， Finland， Germany， and New Zealand）。 I also really liked the small regional maps suggesting "Whiskey Tours" for Islay， Speyside， Ireland， Japan， and Kentucky。 For a travel junkie like myself， these 3-4 day getaways had me looking longingly at my vacation calendar。Descriptions are focused on the history of the company's founding， sales， closings and acquisitions; what blends the malts are part of and vice versa; notes on productions， water source， casking and distribution。 This is followed by a brief paragraph of 20-50 words offering tasting notes for the brand。 If you are looking for strong opinions about what is "good" or "bad"， you won't find them here。 These are textbook tasting notes， not unlike what you'd find on the bottles themselves， telling tame stories of smoke， vanilla， fruit， and peat。 The bolder， more forthright opinions you'd find in review magazines， or the '1001 To Taste Before You Die' series （like "tastes like Chinese food cartons"） are notably absent。 If you want the subjective likes and dislikes of a professional taster， move on。 This book is more history and geography lesson than olfactory or gustatory education。 。。。more
