highly recommended Dutch whisky expert and author Hans Offringa selected 10 Scottish single malts and approached four famous chefs in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Scotland with the following question: Would you be so kind to prepare a 10 course menu with these whiskies? They all agreed and the answer came as 40 surprisingly different, tasty and creative whisky-&-food combinations. Michael Jackson (+): "I put taste in centre stage. Hans has now taken it to the top of the bill".

JAPANESE WHISKY: Facts and Figures by Ulf Buxrud The most comprehensive guide to Japanese Whisky ever published. Glossy with lots of photographs, this is a job well done by Mr Buxrud.   The book is in a hardback format on glossy paper.

"Whisky Dream" tells the extraordinary story of one man's dream to raise from the dead not one, but two of Islay's most cherished malts. After a hard-fought battle, former wine merchant Mark Reynier, together with old business partner Simon and masterblender Jim McEwan reopened Bruichladdich in 2001 after seven years of silent mash-tuns. Port Charlotte Distillery, closed its doors on Islay in 1929, exactly a century after its foundation, as a direct result of a major downturn in the whisky industry becoming nothing more than a windswept ruin.
