Fans of single malt whiskies are typically a well-informed bunch. Many of them have one person to thank for all the information they know – the late Michael Jackson. Considered to be the world's foremost authority on whiskey, he wrote his first book on the subject in 1987. This bestseller was recently updated by whiskey consultants Dominic Roskrow and Gavin D. Smith to include the latest significant bottlings. Full of practical advice, tasting notes and hundreds of photographs, it's the perfect gift for your favorite whiskey enthusiast.
