The new edition features period illustrations and an appreciation by writer Ian Buxton, who was instrumental in bringing the book to the masses' --Herald'This slim little volume is a glorious polemic, and today's readers are helped enormously by the introduction and text annotations offered by spirits scribe Ian Buxton who deploys his pen as scalpel, exposing both the unfortunate innards of the original author and cutting to the chase' - Bruicladdich.com 'A highly entertaining read: personal and opinionated, and providing a valuable insight into the Scotch whisky industry ...' - ScotchWhisky.com 'If I could take only one whisky book to a desert island it would be Aeneas MacDonald's Whisky' --Charles MacLean'an absolute triumph… Aeneas MacDonald's original text emerges as a superbly-written celebration of whisky… Many, many books have been written about whisky since Aeneas MacDonald first sat down at his typewriter. It is nice to be able to conclude, thanks to the efforts of Birlinn and of Ian Buxton, that one of the first books on the subject remains one of the best' - Undiscovered Scotland 'This is a small volume but there are plenty who will love it. It is airy, witty, full of sound knowledge and practical wisdom' --The New York TimesPrésentation de l'éditeurThis is in the opinion of many whisky writers and experts the finest whisky book ever written. It is certainly the first written from the point of view of the consumer and is thus hugely historically significant. But more than that, poetic and polemic in style and with its emphasis on the importance of single malt whisky and its concern to protect and inform the consumer, it remains fresh and relevant to the interests of today's whisky drinker. It is a remarkably prophetic book, and with Ian Buxton's shrewd commentary and analysis, combined for the first time with period illustrations, it is brought bang up to date for today's generations of whisky aficionados.Biographie de l'auteurAeneas MacDonald was the pseudonym under which noted author and journalist George Malcolm Thomson OBE wrote his one legendary book on the subject of whisky.
