A definitive 21st-century reference guide to the world's greatest distilleries and their whiskies.

No other spirit is as complex as whisky; its appeal is timeless, and its fans can spend a lifetime unravelling its mysteries. The Whisky Opus is the companion for that journey.

Fully revised with all-new images, a fresh design, and updated text which takes in all the cutting-edge new distilleries and whisky trends, The Whisky Opus is a global odyssey that takes the whisky lover from Banffshire to Bangalore.

Distillery profiles and "whisky tales" highlight fascinating stories from the past, quirks of production methods, important personalities, and intriguing new trends.

This authoritative reference guide explores every major whisky-producing country in-depth, with extensive coverage of influential producers. Every whisky style, from single malt to poteen, is represented, along with detailed tasting notes on how to appreciate each one.

Whether you're new to the wonders of whisky or a seasoned connoisseur, you'll find this book tells you everything you want to know.
