Malt Whiskey Companion (Michael Jackson)
Malt Whiskey Companion, written by legendary whiskey writer Michael Jackson, is one of the first books that come to mind when whiskey is mentioned! This book is also among the best-selling books about whiskey in the world.
In addition to general information about Scotland and malt whiskies, the book also includes detailed sections on whiskey as an investment tool, the region's influence on whiskey and production.
Undoubtedly, the most enjoyable part of Malt Whiskey Companion is the tasting notes that Michael Jackson wrote for countless whiskeys from many different distilleries. Jackson's tasting notes are quite short, simple and understandable. Perfect to compare with your own tasting notes!
History of Alcohol (Rod Phillips)
In this book, Rod Phillips tells us the 9000-year journey of alcohol in the finest details! In the book, not only whiskey but also all alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, cognac and rum are mentioned in detail.
I can say that the book, which deals with the history of alcohol from different perspectives such as cultural, economic, political and religious, will open your horizons on many issues related to alcohol. A truly fascinating and enjoyable book!
Whiskey Opus (Gavin Smith)
Gavin Smith's Whiskey Opus is one of the whiskey books I come across the most, especially at Remzi Bookstore. The book, which contains a lot of information about whiskey culture, also includes tasting notes of whiskeys from different countries.
Whiskey Opus is a book very similar to Charles MacLean's World Whiskey - A Nation-by-nation Guide To The Best, which I shared at the top of the list.
Great Whiskies (Charles MacLean)
Charles MacLean's book Great Whiskies is very similar to Ian Buxton's book. However, in this book, 500 whiskeys are mentioned, not 101 whiskeys.
In the book, which contains whiskeys from many different countries such as Scotland, Ireland, America, Canada and Japan, tasting notes are also shared in addition to short and concise information about distilleries and whiskeys.
101 Whiskies You Must Try Before You Die (Ian Buxton)
As the name suggests, this book tells you about 101 whiskeys that you must try. In his book, Buxton explains individual tasting notes for 101 whiskeys, interesting details and why he chose those whiskeys.
In the first pages of his book, Ian Buxton specifically states that he did not aim to give the best whiskeys when creating this list of 101 whiskeys, but that he included whiskeys that suit his taste and are accessible.
