Critics Review

“The world of whisky, just like the world of wine, is vast and complex. You need a map. The Pocket Guide to Whiskey is just that map. And no finer one exists.”

‘the map focuses on flavours instead of regions, concentrating on the tastes and textures of the tipples … While the pocket-guide is clearly written with dipping in-and-out in mind or as a gift, it works really well too as a book to demolish in a single sitting’

‘If you would really like to get into the ins and outs of the dram, the Pocket Guide to Whisky is going to help you on your way’

– Jackie Brambles * BBC Radio Scotland *

‘Blair Bowman and Nikki Welch have updated their beginners’ pamphlet on navigating whisky by adding the many Scottish micro-distilleries that have opened since they published their original edition and by including the WhiskyTubeMap, which visually arranges selected whiskies on “lines” according to flavor’
