"Whisky Classified - Chosing single malts by flavour" - David Wishart

After reading "Raw Spirit" I had a greater interest in the minutiae of single-malt scotch selection. Of course the library was able to provide a source of information; this book does a great job of describing the process of making whisky, how to compare different whiskies, and the distinguishing features of all the single-malt distilleries. I was a fan of scotch previously; now I'm on the verge of becoming an afficionado. Ha ha.

My favorite single malts, thus far:
Caol Ila - peaty, but delicate
Oban - like luscious candy
Glenrothes - like even more luscious candy
Talisker - peaty, full-bodied, rich
