Sixth edition, fully revised and updated.

'something of an institution . . . We highly recommend you get a copy for its amusing tone, on-the-nose criticism and Buxton's unerring nose for value' Master of Malt

'excellent' The Sunday Times

'a must-buy for whisky enthusiasts who prefer high-level expertise executed with humour and irreverence rather than lofty academic pretensions . . . accessible, funny and fact-packed' Robb Report

Now in its sixth edition, 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die has become a modern classic of whisky writing - an enduring guide trusted by whisky lovers around the world. Fully revised and updated, this latest edition brings Ian Buxton's brilliantly accessible guide to a new generation of drinkers.

This 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 whisky expert. 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 connoisseur 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!
