Ian Buxton worked in the drinks industry for more than 30 years as a writer, commentator and consultant, Marketing Director of a world-leading single malt, and accidental owner of a derelict distillery. His distinctive style and deep industry knowledge offer unique insights into the world of whisky, recognised by the award of Keeper of the Quaich (1991, the highest accolade in Scotch) and as one of the few writers inducted into London's ancient fraternity, the Worshipful Company of Distillers. Ian's whisky books have been translated into eight languages.
readers can explore the exciting and expanding world of craft distillers, from Austria and Argentina to Norway and New Zealand, that are reinventing the category as they challenge previous orthodoxies and tease drinkers with their exciting new styles and radical releases. Guaranteed to appeal equally to whisky aficionados and new enthusiasts in search of a well-informed guide, the updated handbook is written in Buxton's trademark irreverent and trenchant style. * The Tasting Panel *
