{"product_id":"whiskypedia-a-compendium-of-scottish-whisky","title":"Whiskypedia: A Compendium of Scottish Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndividual distilleries give their whiskies unique characteristics. These characteristics do not arise magically (as was once thought)  nor are they the result solely of the region (as is still thought  by some). They have their roots in the craft and custom of the distillery and of the district in which it is located  but the key influences upon flavor are the distilling equipment itself  how it is operated  and how the spirit is matured. For the first time  Whiskypedia explores the flavor and character of every malt whisky distilled in Scotland with reference to how it is made. Introductory sections explain the contribution made by each stage of production and maturation  to elucidate the detailed notes about how malt whisky is made at each distillery. The distillery entries also provide historical notes and quirky facts. Malt whisky is the quintessential spirit of place  and this element of the story has been captured by John MacPhersons camera in specially commissioned images which compliment the text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952406130741,"sku":"ByrdShop_1616080760","price":34.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781616080761.jpg?v=1770163001","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/whiskypedia-a-compendium-of-scottish-whisky","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
