Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015


Hello Everybody and Welcome at Best Shot Whisky Reviews!

The purpose of Best Shot Whisky Reviews is to give my personal opinion on Whiskies from all over the world. To maintain my independent position I'm not engaged in any commercial activity. But today I would like to make a rare exception and introduce you to a book that should be on the shelf of every Whisky fan in my opinion. I'm talking of course about the Malt Whisky Yearbook that has been released every year since 2005 by Ingvar Ronde. This year's 2015 edition is packed with interesting stories about a/o Maturation, Irish Whiskey, An Overview of the Last Decade in Scotch, Non Age Statement and a Preview on the Next Decade. The writers include Charles MacLean, Gavin Smith, Ian Buxton and Dominic Roskrow. There are also interviews with people from all over the world who talk about how whisky is enjoyed in their respective countries. But the most important part of the book remains the detailed description of over 140 Scottish - and Japanese Distilleries and short presentations on another 219 Malt Whisky Distilleries from the rest of the world. And there's still a lot more such as the 150 best Whisky Shops in the world, Whisky Statistics, favourite Whisky Web Sites and so on. Now it is true that there are a lot of Whisky Books around. But what makes the Malt Whisky Yearbook stand out is the fact that it is interesting and useful to both seasoned whisky connoisseurs and people who have just started their journey in Whisky Land. I can guarantee you that The Malt Whisky Yearbook will be on your desk for the next 12 months and you will consult it almost every day. At least that's what I did since I got my 2014 copy. And to make things even better, this book is not really expensive. So have a look at the site Whisky and see for yourself.

Cheers!
