From back cover: "The finest whisky book ever." Dave Broom

First published in 1930, Aeneas Macdonald's Whisky is considered a classic of whisky writing. The earliest book on the subject written from the drinker's point of view, it remains a passionate and unerringly contemporary plea for the world's most exclusive spirit.

Yet he published under a pseudonym.

In this commemorative edition, Ian Buxton has added a new introduction which solves the mystery of the book's authorship, and also reminds us why, even seventy years on, this little book remains the liveliest and best guide on how, when and why to drink whisky.
