A Guide to Scotch Whisky	Michael Brander	Johnston & Bacon, Edinburgh, Scotland	1975	0717945618	english	96	paperback, ill(bw)	112x177	2nd; 1977

The introduction on the back reads as follows:

Do you ever drink Scotch Whisky? If so, can you tell Brand X from Brand Y, or a blended whisky from a single malt whisky? What anyway is a malt whisky?

The choice of whiskies is staggering (perhaps literally!) and A Guide to Scotch Whisky will lead you through the maze of brand names and distillery names, promotion men's adjectives and technical facts, disposing of some myths on the way. You will find out what goes into whisky, why its exact place of origin is important, and where the many different distilleries are, including those who can be visited.

Illustrated with photographs and maps.
