“If You Like Whisky You Will Love This Book”
Malt Whisky Yearbook 2026
As you all know the purpose of Best Shot Whisky Reviews is to give my personal opinion on Whiskies from all around the world. As it's important to maintain my independent position, I'm not engaged in any commercial activity. But, as I have done over the last 12 years, I would like to make an exception to be able to share with you the 21st edition of The Malt Whisky Yearbook by Ingvar Ronde that has been released every year since 2005.
As always, the Malt Year Book is packed with highly interesting stories, this time amongst others considering Faith in the Future, Beyond the Bog, China In Your Hand, The Sherry Impact, Premium Whiskies and Sherry and Scotch. The writers include Ian Wisniewski, Kristiane Westray, Gavin D. Smith, Nick Morgan, Jonny McCormick and Justine Hazlehurst.
The most important part of the book remains the detailed description of Scottish Distilleries and more compact presentations about Single Malt Whisky Distilleries in the rest of the world. All in all, a total of 930 Malt distilleries are presented with updated facts.
And there's more such as a new item called Exceptional Designs, an overview of more than 150 of the best Whisky Shops in the world, a comprehensive summary of the past whisky year & a chapter about the world's most important independent bottlers.
Whisky Statistics, Best Whisky Web Sites (including Best Shot Whisky Reviews 😃), Distilleries per Owner, Closed Distilleries, New Distilleries and Maps complete this Book that also contains more than 500 color photos and over 200 Tasting Notes.

Year after year, this book not only manages to inform you in depth about the Malt distilleries all over the world but it also gives you solid background info that gives you an idea of the state of today's Whisky market. That's basically all you need if you want to buy one book on Whisky. And that applies to Whisky enthusiasts and people that work in the Whisky industry.
On top of that, this book is certainly not expensive for what it offers (US$ 21) and is sold in Whisky Shops, International Book Stores, Distillery Visitor Centers and of course at the editor's website:
I wish you lots of fun with the Malt Whisky Yearbook 2026!
Cheers! 🥃
