Blended Scotch whiskey accounts for more than 90 percent of the world market for Scotch, as well as the majority of whiskey sold in the world, yet Classic Blended Scotch is the first book devoted entirely to the subject. Jim Murray, the world's premier whiskey writer, here reveals the history of the industry and the stories behind the great brands--Johnnie Walker, Famous Grouse, Teachers, Dewar's, and Chivas Regal among them. With his inimitable tasting notes, Murray takes us to the heart of each blend, opening up the secrets of their taste for the first time. He also includes an A-Z of 50 classic blends as well as a guide to the whiskey blenders, whose artistry is at the center of whiskey making. Jim Murray's previous books are Classic Irish Whiskey and Classic Bourbon, Tennessee and Rye Whiskey.

Brilliant Book on Scotch Blended,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Blended Scotch (Hardcover)
In my humble opinion Jim Murray is the world's best whisky writer. He demonstrates that clearly in this book on Blended Scotch Whisky. He has a very positive view of life and whisky in particular. He has tasting notes and comments for every known brand of scotch blends (how can one man manage to taste all these whiskies ?). He is very analytic and detailed in his description of the different brands and if you read his descriptions you are no in doubt that this man lost his heart to whisky. And it is a big heart: There are only a few blended scotch whiskies he doesn't seem to have a love affair with.Hopefully this book can help giving Scotch Blended Whisky the top status it actually deserves. Scotch Single Malt is not the only whisky worth drinking. Sometimes a blended whisky is better. Try it yourself. If you care just a little bit about whisky, this book is a must!
