Review of the
Malt Whisky Yearbook 2024 which covers
no less than 821 malt whisky
distilleries around the world with all
the facts updated. With the
ever increasing number of distilleries
this is a must have for any whisky
enthusiasts wanting to keep track of the
world of whisky and there are few
tasting notes thrown in also to wet your
whistle.
 It's
that time of the year once again, when
the latest, fully updated edition of the
Malt Whisky Yearbook begins to grace the
shelves of book shops. The Malt Whisky
Yearbook 2024 marks the 19th consecutive
annual release of this comprehensive
compendium of whisky information. As is
customary, the Yearbook has undergone a
thorough revision and update under the
expert guidance of its editor, Ingvar
Ronde.
With the what seems like ever increasing
number of whisky distilleries these days
the Yearbook has become more invaluable
than ever for those of you wanting to
keep up to date with the malt whisky
world. The Malt Whisky Yearbook 2024
covers 821 malt whisky distilleries
around the world, which is 47 more
distilleries than the 2023 edition and
as always it has been fully updated
As is customary, the majority of the
content is dedicated to Scotland's malt
whisky distilleries. The
well-established Scotch malt whisky
distilleries typically receive a
full-page treatment, featuring
production statistics, historical
background, a concise listing of their
current whisky offerings, and often a
pair of tasting notes for their popular
core range expressions, offering readers
valuable insights into the distillery's
whisky style.
The continuously expanding roster of new
Scotch malt whisky distilleries receives
coverage, with each new entrant allotted
half a page for a detailed overview. The
intriguing section for whisky
enthusiasts and collectors devoted to
"Closed Distilleries" has been dropped
this, no doubt to make space for the
increasing number of new distilleries
and indeed the distilleries that have
been resurrected such as Rosebank and
Brora.
An additional section encompasses
distilleries spanning the globe,
including regions such as Europe, North
America, Australia & New Zealand, Asia,
Africa, and South America. While not as
comprehensive as the Scotch section,
this segment has rapidly expanded in
recent years, offering readers valuable
glimpses into the world of malt whisky
production outside of Scotland.
Furthermore, a dedicated chapter delves
into the world's foremost independent
bottlers, providing an in-depth
exploration of their contributions to
the whisky industry.
