101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die

Ian Buxton recently put out the book "101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die," and it is rapidly becoming one of those must-reads for whiskey drinkers.  Although each of you probably has your own particular taste (or possibly even brand) that you prefer, this gives a great sampling of easy-to-find whiskies that are well worth the taste.  You will probably find (as I did) that you can already check off a number of different varieties.  Think of it as one large whiskey sampler!  I am thinking about drinking through all 101 over the next year or two!  You can probably find the book in your local library if you aren't the type to run out and buy a new book, and you can read the Amazon information on the book below:

Product Description

A fun and accessible guide to completing an education in whiskey from a man who knows his hooch Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited, and the absurdly expensive, whiskey expert Ian Buxton has scoured the shelves of the world's whiskey warehouses to recommend an eclectic selection of old favorites, stellar newcomers, and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. This witty, focused, and practical guide is not an awards list or a list of the 101 "Best" whiskies in the world in the opinion of some self-appointed whiskey guru. It's simply a guide to 101 whiskies that enthusiasts really must seek out and try--love them or hate them--to complete their whiskey education. What's more, it's both practical and realistic as it cuts through the clutter, decodes the marketing hype, and gets straight to the point; whether from India or America, Sweden or Ireland, Japan or the hills, glens, and islands of Scotland--here are the 101 whiskies that every whiskey enthusiast needs to try. Slainte!
