Who, when and why
A great starting point for anyone who has just discovered whisky and is not quite sure where to begin, or as a first gift for someone just taking that first step. Read it through at your leisure before choosing a bottle yourself, and you will gradually recognise more and more of what you taste. Want to find out which style suits you afterwards? Take a look at the four quadrants of the M4W Flavour Compass, from Smooth & Fruity to Smoky & Powerful. Individual terms can be looked up in the M4W Whisky Glossary.
