Added this time is an additional 160 pages taken from four extremely rare booklets he subsequently published, one so rare the only known copy is a much-tashed photocopy, but we've brushed it up.

Also has an introduction by yours truly but don't let that put you off.

If you would like a signed copy, let me know, with any preferred dedication in the 'special requests' box as you check out.

Fifth edition, 811 new entries and many others updated, a huge effort, especially as this is the fourth successive year Jim has produced one.

An astonishing book. Or more correctly, an astonishing collection, one of the most complete collections of Scotch malt whisky bottles in the world.

A large format book, published 1999 & just short of 300 pages, and the print and paper quality is faultless.

Every serious collector of whiskies who has seen it has bought a copy on the spot. We immediately found it an essential reference work when discussing matters with our customers-particularly when identifying a bottle found in dad's cabinet.

For less than the price of a Macallan 25yo, this book gives you 2,400 bottles!

Pictured is just one of 8 spreads devoted to 256 Macallans!

Companion volume to that below and very worthwhile.

A further 190 pages devoted to new Scotch malt additions to the collection plus a few Irish and (absolutely fascinating) American whiskies.

If you are happy with volume one then volume two is essential, no repetition or reworking. When I heard this was in production I was sceptical but have no hesitation recommending this.
