Appreciating Whisky offers the reader detailed, structured knowledge on how to develop his or her palate for whisky. Readers are first taken on a detailed tour of how whisky is produced, what each of its constituents and each of the stages of its manufacture bring to the final product. With this grounding, readers are then introduced to the various chemical processes at work during distillation and maturation that give each whisky its distinct characteristics. Using specific popular whiskies as examples, readers are taught how to recognize what they are tasting and smelling, and how to describe this in the language of the experts.

Industry Reviews

Appreciating Whisky covers ground never before addressed by the literature of whisky-and does so lucidly, thoroughly, idiosyncratically and with good humour. ...Independent-minded, witty, erudite, and on occasion, iconoclastic and downright bawdy, Hills is clearly obsessed by whisky and this makes him the ideal guide to this complex and fascinating drink.
