Malt Whisky Companion, Michael Jackson.
A new and updated edition of the classic, definitive guide to malt whiskies, originally written by the late Michael Jackson and fully updated by whisky experts Dominic Roskrow and Gavin D. Smith.
The fully revised 8th edition of the Malt Whisky Companion will teach you everything you want to know about your favourite tipple. How should you taste a single malt scotch whisky? Which whiskies are light and flowery, or rich and treacly? How different is a single malt scotch from a distillery in the Highlands to one from the islands? If you find yourself asking these questions, then this may be the book for you!
Did you know that this best-selling book on malt whisky was originally authored in 1989 by Michael Jackson, who was regarded as the world’s foremost authority on whisky until his death in 2007. His legacy lives on in his books, which have been approved by his estate. This brilliant book about whiskey has been fully updated by world-leading whisky consultants Dominic Roskrow, author of 12 books about whiskey, and Gavin D. Smith – a professional writer with over 20 years experience, to include all the latest significant bottlings since the 7th edition in 2015. A new introduction section includes hot news on all the current whisky questions being asked.

Wolfgang F. Rothe: Whisky-Wallfahrten. Ein spiritueller Reiseführer durch Schottland. Editions, Sankt Ottilien 2018, ISBN 978-3-8306-7875-5, S. 76–85.
Schottland ist das ideale Reiseziel für alle, die sich nach unberührter Natur und uralten Zeugnissen menschlicher Zivilisation, nach äußerer Ruhe und innerer Freiheit, nach sinnlichen Eindrücken und spirituellen Erfahrungen sehnen. Um all dies zu erleben, muss man aber nicht unbedingt nach Schottland reisen. Es genügt bereits, sich in die wunderbare Welt des schottischen Whiskys zu begeben. Mit einem Schluck schottischen Whiskys im Glas ist man so gut wie dort, wo er herstammt: Whisky ist Schottland in destillierter Form, ist gleichsam die Essenz seiner grandiosen Landschaft, seines ausgeglichenen Klimas, seiner bewegten Geschichte, seiner einzigartigen Kultur und nicht zuletzt auch seiner zeitlosen Spiritualität.
In diesem Buch nimmt „Whisky-Vikar“ Wolfgang F. Rothe seine Leser mit auf eine Reise zu den Quellen sowohl einer wunderbaren Spirituose als auch einer lebensnahen Spiritualität.
