The World Guide to Whisky

A hardback edition of *The World Guide to Whisky*, written by Michael Jackson and published by Dorling Kindersley in 1987. An extensively illustrated guide exploring the history, production and regional characteristics of whisky from around the world. Featuring over 200 colour photographs, distillery maps and detailed tasting notes, the book covers Scotch, Irish, American, Canadian and Japanese whiskies, offering a comprehensive insight into the industry during the 1980s. Michael Jackson (1942–2007) was a renowned British journalist and author, widely regarded as one of the most influential whisky writers of his generation. Often credited with pioneering modern whisky criticism, his publications helped popularise single malt Scotch whisky internationally and established a more systematic approach to whisky tasting and appreciation. One of Jackson's earliest and most influential whisky publications, *The World Guide to Whisky* remains an important reference work and an interesting addition to any whisky enthusiast's collection.
