International Whisky Guide 2016

The International Whisky Guide 2016 introduces you to a fascinating new approach for reviewing whiskies. In it you will find a complete review of all the whiskies blind tasted by the tasting panel during the 2015 International Whisky Competition. This tasting panel is comprised of ten professional tasters from the wine and spirits industry as well as whisky experts. Whiskies should not be judged based on personal preferences but on their structure and style. It is unjustifiable that some whiskies get poor ratings in certain reviews and are not revisited as their aroma and flavour profiles change from one production batch to another. It is the International Whisky Competition's belief that every whisky should be granted a proper tasting session as well as be reviewed using a structured and proven methodology. In doing so, we have taken the "personal preference" element out of our whisky reviews and simplified the tasting descriptors so that the consumer can better relate to them. So sit back and let this book be your guide for discovering the ever changing world of whiskies.
