The critical differentiator for this book however, is you are not going to see any blends in here, only single malt. And from my perspective, that is fine! You are also not going to get every variation from each distillery, just the ones that Michael has tried. But I'll tell you, he's tried a lot. So you've got some distilleries where he's only got one whiskey he has rated, but may be the most well know, or common. I rarely came upon a distillery where his tastings didn't coincide with the vast majority of what they were offering, then he would have a couple rare ones you couldn't find, and they would have some he hadn't tasted. Some people like this, some people don't, but what I liked was the historical and scenic descriptions of the distilleries. Because I was going there, and not just drinking them, I wanted to know which were the best to visit, which had "pour your own bottle" options, and which weren't open to the public. This was EXTREMELY helpful. I just carried this book in my bag and would make notes in it everywhere I was drinking whisky. Now it sits on my bar and is my go to reference every time I am looking for my next bottle of Single Malt. By the way, it also has Single Malt Irish, Japanese, etc., not just Scotch! Pretty darned comprehensive. Review: THE Go-To Book for Single Malt Scotch Whiskeys. - Since we're retired now, we have nice leisure time in the evenings in the living room, in our chairs. My husband has always enjoyed Scotch, and so he'll have 2 or 3 fingers of Scotch of an evening with his church warden's pipe, which smells really nice. He is SO hard to buy for, so I got a wild hair, and got him a bottle of single malt Scotch Whiskey. (Only whiskey from Scotland has the 'e' - every other one is 'whisky.') Since that first bottle, I've found a website where I can browse different single malt Scotches from different regions of Scotland. I can look at the area it's from, what distillery, what grain they malt, all kinds of information. When I looked at this book, I saw it has detailed descriptions of the taste of different Whiskeys, (which make no sense to me). So I bought this book. It really helps make sense of these taste descriptions, why a given Whiskey is so peaty, or smoky, and so forth. So when I ask him if this bottle or that bottle smells and tastes better, I can look it up, and see what characteristics that Scotch has. I can make more educated choices about what single malt Scotch Whiskey I want to get for him next. This is an excellent reference book, easy to read and use, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good Scotch. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #619,569 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #141 in English, Scottish & Welsh Cooking & Wine #151 in Whiskey #441 in Alcoholic Spirits | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 450 Reviews | ## Images ![Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch: A Connoisseur’s Guide to the Single Malt Whiskies of Scotland - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SjmKu1BnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Traveled Scotland with this as my guide! *by J***G on October 23, 2013* There are a few Scotch Whiskey books on the market, and many of them comparable to this.

The 5th edition has been a staple on my coffee table for years now. If you are looking for a little help in explaining many of the various single malt scotch choices out there, this is a great read. While most single malts are fundamentally good products, this book helps to explain the flavor profile of each specific brand and age in greater detail. It helped me pick a brand that I would not have previously considered, and score a great one for only around $60 a bottle. While you can spend a lot more on good scotch, these guides prove that you don't have to. ## Frequently Bought Together - Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch: A Connoisseur’s Guide to the Single Malt Whiskies of Scotland - Whiskypedia: A Compendium of Scotch Whisky - Michael Jackson's Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch: The World's Best-selling Book on Malt Whisky --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19835449-michael-jacksons-complete-guide-to-single-malt-scotch-a-connoisseur](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/19835449-michael-jacksons-complete-guide-to-single-malt-scotch-a-connoisseur) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
