Title: Good whiskey reference book, but could be better.
Product review: I chose this book after reading the reviews on it and checking out my friend's book by Jim Murray. It reads nicely and is an excellent primer on Scotch in general, offering information on origins, regions of production, distillation process, etc... I find I mostly agree with Jackson's ratings, though I've tried a couple of products he rates very highly which I definitely disagree on, and a couple of my favorites which he rates much lower than I expected. Where I find his ratings lacking is in commentary on how he arrives at the rating. He's descriptive of the characteristics (color, nose, body, palet and finish), but doesn't offer any insight as to why he asigns the given numeric value. Murray's book is far superior in that regard. The font is a nice size, where Murray's book is way too small for me to read without some magnification. Overall, I think this is a good book and worth the purchase price.
