The Whisk(E)Y Treasury ― The World's Most Complete Whisk(E)Y A to Z

Whisky is the one spirit that is undeniably a world-wide phenomenon. From its early beginnings in the Celtic heartlands of Ireland and Scotland, whisky has become the world's most popular drink as the secrets of its manufacture have been disseminated by generations of emigrant whisky distillers.
As whisky has evolved over the centuries, so too has the body of knowledge surrounding it, and the sheer volume of reference material now available on whisky (or whiskey) is staggering. In 1994, Professor Walter Schobert decided to draw all this material into book form and his resulting Das Whisky Lexicon was published in German in 1999 to critical acclaim.
Now available as a revised, updated and amended edition in English, The Whisk(e)y Treasury contains over 2000 terms with their definitions and explanations ranging from Abbott's Choice to Yukon Jack. Included are brand names, distilleries (living and dead), technical terms, people and places, production processes and company profiles.
