Davies, Chromatographia, 2014, 77, 1733-1734 'Sometimes, you come across a book that's so comprehensive that it's worth shouting about....a fascinating book that can be engaged with on numerous levels, even if you aren't a student of distilling. Pop it on the shelf and consult it from time to time over the coming years. This might be the only whisky book you'll ever need.' http: //malt-review.com/2014/08/01/book-review-the-science-and-commerce-of-whisky/
