Ulf Buxrud, a Scandinavian keeper of the Quaich and a Malt Maniac, has released the Rare Malts, Facts, Figures and Taste.
The book is an endeavor to document the facts and figures of a formative and exciting segment of whisky history. It is also an attempt to mirror the arduous work and joy surrounding the rise of cottage trade that became an industry.
Rare Malts portrays all the distilleries involved in the compilation of the Rare Malts Selection series; a collection of outstanding examples of the makes of thirty-six legendary distilleries. Each portrait contains histories and technical data, some never published before. The portraits include flavour profiles, tasting notes and comments. A special segment deals with tasting methodology; another gives a deeper insight into whisky nomenclature. In addition the full story of the Rare Malts Selection series is told in detail.
The book retails for 30£
