Reviews

'the map focuses on flavours instead of regions, concentrating on the tastes and textures of the tipples … While the pocket-guide is clearly written with dipping in-and-out in mind or as a gift, it works really well too as a book to demolish in a single sitting'
*Scottish Field*

'If you would really like to get into the ins and outs of the dram, the Pocket Guide to Whisky is going to help you on your way'
*BBC Radio Scotland*

'Blair Bowman and Nikki Welch have updated their beginners’ pamphlet on navigating whisky by adding the many Scottish micro-distilleries that have opened since they published their original edition and by including the WhiskyTubeMap, which visually arranges selected whiskies on "lines" according to flavor'
