Reviews"The fourth edition of this popular series comes fully revised and updated, including emphasis on North American whiskies, particularly from Canada, and--in place of Buxton's own tasting note--space for the reader to provide their own...Entries from the likes of Cotswolds, Mackmyra, and Teerenpeli--along with Scottish, Irish, American, and Canadian stalwarts--capture just how wide-ranging the world of whisky has become, and how much work the exploratory taster has ahead of them. You may not agree with Buxton's picks, but thumbing through the list is sure to turn up a few bottles new to even the most experienced whisky drinker." -- Whisky Advocate

SynopsisFourth edition, fully revised and updated. 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a whisky guide with a difference. It is not an awards list. It is not a list of the 101 'best' whiskies in the world in the opinion of a self-appointed whisky guru. It is simply a guide to the 101 whiskies that enthusiasts must seek out and try in order to complete their whisky education. Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited and the absurdly expensive, whisky expert Ian Buxton recommends an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. The book decodes the marketing hype and gets straight to the point; whether from Canada, India, America, Sweden, Ireland, Japan or the hills, glens and islands of Scotland, here are the 101 whiskies that you really want. Try them before you die - Slainte!
