Review of the
Malt Whisky Yearbook 2022, a book which
focuses on the facts & figures, history,
recent events and the latest bottlings from
the malt whisky distilleries around the
world but focuses in more detail on the
distilleries of Scotland.
 You
know autumn is here and Christmas is on
the way when the Malt Whisky Yearbook
starts appearing on the bookshop
shelves, the new Malt Whisky Yearbook
2022 is the 17th
annual edition of the whisky facts packed book
and as always it has been fully revised
and updated by the Yearbook editor
Ingvar Ronde.
Since its first
publication back in 2005 the Malt Whisky
Yearbook has become an essential resource for
whisky enthusiasts to check
whisky facts & figures, history and
recent events for malt whisky
distilleries around the world.
This latest edition covers no less than
727 malt whisky distilleries around the
world, most
space is allocated to the malt whisky
distilleries of Scotland, with most
established Scotch malt whisky
distilleries covered over at least one
page which details each distilleries
production facts and figures, history as
well as a brief listing of their current
whisky offerings and many of the
distilleries covered have one of two
tasting notes usually for their popular
core range bottlings giving readers an
insight into the style of whisky the
distillery produces.
The ever growing number of new Scotch
malt whisky distilleries are also covered
and perhaps of
interest to whisky enthusiasts and
collectors their is a section 'Closed Distilleries' which covers some
closed and even demolished distilleries
which are still of interest.
There is a section covering malt whisky distilleries
around the world - Europe, North
America, Australia & New Zealand, Asia,
Africa and South America. This section
continues to expand year on year, although not as
detailed a section as the Scotch section
it certainly gives the reader an insight
into malt whisky which is now being
produced around the world. There is also
an entire chapter about the world's
leading independent whisky bottlers.
The Malt Whisky Yearbook is primarily
but not just a reference book, there are
contributions from well known whisky

MacLean, Gavin D Smith, Ian
Wisniewski and Stefan van Eycken. You will also find a
comprehensive summary of the news and
