Blended Scotch is the foundation of the Scottish whisky tradition, accounting for around 85 per cent of total whisky sales worldwide. No longer regarded as the poor relation of the single malt malt, it is increasingly held in high regard by connoisseurs. Yet, despite this, relatively little has been written about it – until now.This is the essential companion to blended Scotch, and is packed with stories and anecdotes, practical information and hundreds of colour photographs. It explores many key aspects – history, the theory and practice of blending, a guide to its assessment and appreciation and classic whisky cocktails. It also features an A-Z of many of Scotland’s best-known brands and blending houses, from Bell’s to Johnnie Walker.
