Scotch Whisky: Its History, Production and Appreciation is an in-depth
look at the origins of Scotch whisky beginning with the development of the
art of distillation in antiquity and its evolution through the Middle Ages
leading finally to the birth of whisky in the 13th century. The process
of producing whisky is thoroughly explored from both the standpoint of
modern scientific distillation as well as that of the “stillman’s art.” Additional
chapters explore both single malts and grain based whiskies as well as the
ubiquitous blends. Finally we explore the sensory appreciation of Scotch
Whisky and the various systems that have been proposed for describing and
evaluating Scotland's golden nectar.
