Fully updated and revised in 2013, 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a whisky guide with a difference. It is not an awards list. It is not a list of the 101 'best' whiskies in the world in the opinion of a self-appointed whisky guru. It is simply a guide to the 101 whiskies that enthusiasts must seek out and try in order to complete their whisky education. Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited and the absurdly expensive, whisky expert Ian Buxton recommends an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. The book decodes the marketing hype and gets straight to the point; whether from India, America, Sweden, Ireland, Japan or the hills, glens and islands of Scotland, here are the 101 whiskies that you really want. This is a desert island list of whiskies - fully revised and updated in the light of the industry's constant need to keep changing things! Try them before you die - Slainte!

This new book from bestselling drinks writer Ian Buxton builds on the tremendous success of 101 Gins to Try Before you Die. It includes background details on distilleries and craft artisans, tasting notes and tips on the must-try latest gins as well as the eternal classics and longstanding favourites.

Leading international writers on beer and whisky have come together to celebrate the legacy of renowned drinks writer Michael Jackson, who passed away in August 2007 after battling Parkinson's disease. They each contributed new writings to a project launched on March 27, 2009, coinciding with Jackson's birth date. All proceeds from this publication, supported by The Glenlivet, will benefit the Parkinson's Disease Society of the UK. Editor Ian Buxton, who initiated the project, noted that Jackson significantly influenced beer and whisky writing for two decades, impacting a generation of writers, brewers, and distillers. This book pays tribute to that legacy, offering a diverse collection that celebrates the joy of whisky and beer. Buxton emphasizes that the writings reflect the variety Jackson cherished and are crafted in a way he would have appreciated. The contributors include notable figures in drinks writing, such as Stephen Beaumont, Dave Broom, Ian Buxton, John Hansell, Julie Johnson, Charles MacLean, Hans Offringa, F Paul Pacult, Roger Protz, Lucy Saunders, Conrad Seidl, Carolyn Smagalski, and Gavin D Smith. This collaboration is a heartfelt homage to a life well-lived and a passion for fine beverages.

This book offers an updated overview of the whisky industry, reflecting changes since its first edition in 2014. It presents the latest academic research and industry best practices in an accessible and authoritative manner.
