“First of all, our thanks are due to Gavin Smith, well-known whisky author, who has kindly provided the overwhelming bulk of the site at launch (1st January 2008) in full recognition that you will probably all mangle it unrecognisably. The launch text is drawn from Gavin's excellent and authoritative book Whisky: A Book of Words (Carcanet Press, 1993),and subsequent paperback edition The A-Z of Whisky (NWP). A new and fully revised edition will be published sometime in 2008. BUY THIS BOOK!
However comprehensive this initial coverage it can never be totally complete and some entries require revision. THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN! The site is arranged in classic 'wiki' format, which means you can add new articles and edit existing entries.”
