Charles MacLean: Malt Whisky – the complete guide

 26 YO Macallan

Charles MacLean: Malt Whisky – the complete guide, Mitchell Beazley, £15.99 ($19.99), 240 pages, hbk, b/w + col pics

This is the latest edition (4th) of Charles’ guide to malt whisky that was first published in 1997. The majority of the photos are by Jason Lowe. Unusually many of them are black and white. 

Charles' book divides into five sections: history from pre 1450 to present time, how whisky is made, whisky tasting, the whisky regions and finally a directory of all the malt distilleries and their malts.
