Charles MacLean's Whiskypedia serves as a definitive guide to Scotch whisky, focusing on the scientific and historical factors behind flavor, such as still design and maturation, rather than regional myths. The book, which features a comprehensive gazetteer of distilleries, highlights how the 19th-century phylloxera crisis helped establish Scotch as a globally dominant spirit.
