For the whisky enthusiast who cares as deeply about it as any oenophile does about wine, Whisky is a passionate, instructive, historical book that illuminates the great history of the transfixing spirit. First published in 1930, Aeneas Macdonald's Whisky is considered a classic of whisky writing-a small, passionate, polemical, and informative gem of a book. The earliest book on the subject from the drinker's point of view, it's both a useful buying companion and an homage to the world's most exclusive spirit. More than just a guide to whisky, this is an essential book for buffs and a fantastic read for those of us whose whisky knowledge only extends to not putting mixers in a malt. This little book began whisky's renaissance. MacDonald's sense of what it means to be Scottish, his passionate discussion of why whisky-especially good whisky-matters, and his notes on how, when, and why to drink whisky are indispensable. Remarkably, Whisky has never been reprinted in America.
