Single malt. Bourbon. Distilleries. Casks. Cocktails. In the world of whisky, there's a lot to get your head around, but it's easier to navigate than you might think. Savour is a modern guide to one of the world's most flavour-forward drinks: whisky. Whether you love whisky or aren't sure where to start, Kristiane Westray will take you on an immersive and inclusive expedition through the spirit. Complete with a really practical guide on how to taste whisky (disclaimer: you will have to drink a lot of it), how to build a capsule collection and a handy flow chart to work out what flavours align best with your palate, Savour will introduce you to the most exciting modern makers, whisky bars, distilleries, bottle shops and communities around the world. Whether from Australia, Finland, Mexico, South Africa, Japan or Scotland, this is a book for the curious and flavour-lovers amongst us. This is your invitation to embrace whisky and dive right in. Into the fun, flavour and thrill of it all. Because whisky really is for everyone.
