This is unequivocally the best Scotch and Single Malt Whisky resource in paper format available. Whisky can be a religious experience for some, but don't bother looking for a Bible on it. What you really want is this book here.
The 2020 Edition of our favourite whisky book is out. This is the definitive guide to Single Malt Whisky from not just Scotland, but around the World. There is detailed info for more than 150 Scottish distilleries (both in production and closed). There is also info on malt distilleries from around the world including: Japan, Canada, Australia, the US, Europe and the rest of the world. There are articles by many of the industry's most respected writers, and even a well deserved feature on Canadian Grant Stevely, of the Dubh Glass Distillery in the Okanagan. This is the definitive point of reference for all things single malt whisky, and we look forward to reading it every year!

Fashioned in lead-free crystal; its shape honed to perfection with the help of the master blenders, the Glencairn Glass enhances and extends the tasting experience. This is the glass endorsed by the whisky industry.
It is a pretty awesome glass - let me tell you! The only thing that would make it even better is if it was adorned with the KWM logo.
If only such a thing existed...

The Cut Glencairn Glass - a stunning mouth-blown, hand-formed, cut and polished version of the world's best Scotch glass. In traditional 24% lead crystal, this magnificent creation has a 360 degree full diamond cut bowl and a fine rosette carved into the bottom of the base; each glass is individually mouth blown and hand-shaped by traditional old-world methods then hand-cut and polished by skilled artisans. The Cut Glencairn Glass is 65% heavier than the standard GG to provide the artisan with enough crystal depth to permit cutting but it retains the volume and form of the the original. The Cut Glencairn takes the glass to a whole new level of sophistication and presentation. It comes in an individual blue leatherette gift box.

Author's Note
"Two years ago we embarked on a journey to tell the incredible story of the most exciting and cutting-edge distilleries that are shaping Canada’s industry. The book is finally out today in what has become a weird, unnatural world no one could have predicted. While the days are getting longer and we are beginning to feel spring in the air, almost all non-essential businesses in Canada have closed. We are cheered though that despite adversity, almost all of Canada's distilleries have actively joined the effort to fight the pandemic.
"In writing this book, we have gotten to know many of these very distilleries, and we hope their stories and spirits found in this book might be a welcome distraction. And while we cannot visit these distilleries at the moment, our wish is that this book can give you a virtual distillery tour from coast-to-coast. We hope our tasting notes will guide you to new spirits that cannot be missed, many of which you can buy online, so you can then mix your bounty in distillery-specific cocktail recipes."
