Whisky

Whisky is a distillate that has always exerted great evocative power. It has now become a truly global phenomenon, in full evolution, as evidenced by the many international events of which it is the star.

This is a very varied universe and the word "whisky" encompasses the most diverse products, both in terms of basic ingredients and the regulations that determine their production.

This is why the authors of this book have chosen to focus on the most historically interesting category, the object of the craze of a growing number of amateurs and collectors single malts, that is to say whiskies produced from a single barley malt and from a single distillery.

Under the direction of two great experts in the sector, Massimo Righi and Davide Terziotti, and thanks to the photographs taken especially by Fabio Petroni, grand ma of still life, this book will lead you to la découverte of all the secrets of single malt whiskies: from their history and geography to production techniques; from the rules of good tasting to the main producing countries and the most important distillers (not only in Scotland but also in emerging countries such as Japan and Taiwan), through the ever-growing phenomenon of collecting.

All complemented by the whisky-based recipes of chef Rino Duca, who offers valuable suggestions for inviting this beverage into the kitchen.

As you will discover, getting to know single malt whisky means venturing into a global experience, an exciting journey that is at once geographical, temporal, emotional and sensory.
