It provides a validated statistical analysis of single malt-style whisky flavours (through cluster analysis, followed by principal component analysis). The result is the most appropriate (and justified) way to classify single-malts by flavour. Highly recommended for those wanting to understand how whiskies truly compare to each other. selfbuilthttp://whiskyanalysis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-16242829216256519542012-02-20T22:05:18.413+00:002012-02-20T22:05:18.413+00:00would like to hear your thoughts on it if you pick...would like to hear your thoughts on it if you pick a copy it.Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-3868322842155661392012-02-16T17:38:38.531+00:002012-02-16T17:38:38.531+00:00I'm very fond of malt whisky too and was certa...I'm very fond of malt whisky too and was certainly a fan of Jackson. I note with interest your comments on this book. I do buy books on drink (exclusively wine to date) but I'll have a look at Whisky Classified next time I am in a bookshop.<br /><br />Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Noting the comment of "Jim Morphy", perhaps I'll put up something wine related on MCS one day (though it's a weblog which is only sometimes about books.)Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-68655889472691222752012-02-11T17:55:11.091+00:002012-02-11T17:55:11.091+00:00Michael Jackson was a legend.

He had such an engaging voice and is someone I wish I'd met. <br /><br />I agree about the books and booze but apparently people don't buy books about drink in any great numbers and I can confirm they don't read blogs about the either (although that won't stop me).Desperate Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708411387912078122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-73208183119172158002012-02-11T17:52:14.421+00:002012-02-11T17:52:14.421+00:00Islay is lovely - wonderful scenery, great people,...Islay is lovely - wonderful scenery, great people, and the best whisky. Had a brilliant morning at Bruichladdich a few years ago, the sea was the colour of their turquoise livery and they gave us fudge and whisky.

I can’t say I’m much into whisky, but I’ve got a few of his beer books on my shelves. Books and alcohol are two of the great pleasures in life - there should be more booze-related posts in bookblogging world, I think!Jim Morphy at 366bookshttp://366days366books.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011557877105021955.post-51782380126784168182012-02-09T10:24:24.883+00:002012-02-09T10:24:24.883+00:00Blimey - never heard of those two Gallic ones!

I don't drink whiskey any more, but when I did I was an Islay fan - Lafroaig when I still smoked, then I moved onto Bruichladdich.Annabel (gaskella)http://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
