The Malt Whisky Yearbook is the brainchild of editor Ingvar Ronde and was first published in autumn 2005. Since then a new and completely revised edition has been published yearly. What started out as a go-to book for whisky enthusiasts wanting to keep abreast of the ever-changing malt whisky world, soon became a tool also for the whisky industry. Many producers now buy it for their staff (brand ambassadors, tour guides, salespeople etc.) to keep them informed about the latest developments.
The Malt Whisky Yearbook 2023 is sold through www.maltwhiskyyearbook.com
for £15.95 plus shipping.
