Why does Scotch whisky taste as it does? Where do the flavours come from? How might they have changed over the years? The flavour of Scotch whisky is as much influenced by history, craft and tradition as it is by science. Whiskypedia explores these influences. Introductory sections provide an historical overview, and an explanation of the contribution made by each stage of the production process. Since it's publication in 2009, Whiskypedia has become the essential handbook for whisky lovers. This new edition includes both the flavour map and Charles MacLean's unique flavour wheel, and is a comprehensive guide to all the distilleries in Scotland.
