Book – Whisky Sommelier

Whisky is a spirit that has always had strong, evocative power. Today, it has become a global phenomenon that is continuously growing, as particularly evidenced by the numerous international events where whisky is the protagonist. It is a highly varied universe, and there are lots of different products – both in terms of basic ingredients and product specifications – sold under the name “whisky”. This book decided to concentrate on the most historically interesting category, which boasts an extremely large and ever-growing following of enthusiasts and collectors: that of Single Malts, whiskies only produced with malted barley by a single distillery.

Under the guidance of two great experts in the sector, Massimo Righi and Davide Terziotti, and accompanied by the beautiful photographs taken by Fabio Petroni, a master of still life, this book will reveal all the secrets of Single Malt whiskies. You will lean about their history and geographical variations, production techniques and the rules of tasting, the main whisky-producing countries and the most interesting distillers (not only in Scotland, but also in emerging countries like Japan and Taiwan), not to mention the continuously expanding phenomenon of collecting.

The last chapter of the book is dedicated to whisky-based recipes proposed by chef Rino Duca, which provide valuable ideas for using this spirit in the kitchen.

As you will discover, learning about Single Malt whisky is a global experience – a fascinating geographical, temporal, emotional, and sensory journey.
