Malt Whisky Wetenswaardigheden | Jouke Karper

Malt Whisky Wetenswaardigheden by Jouke Karper is an accessible Dutch-language whisky book for enthusiasts who want to learn more about Scotch single malt whisky.

Karper tells the complete story behind the making of malt whisky in a personal style. The book covers the familiar production steps, but also highlights elements that often receive less attention while having a major influence on whisky’s character.

A large part of the book focuses on casks and maturation. According to the description, the flavour of malt whisky is largely determined by the cask or casks in which it has matured. The book therefore pays close attention to wood types, previous cask contents and the influence of maturation on aroma and flavour.

The basic ingredients, malting, distilling, bottling and tasting of whisky are also discussed. In addition, the book includes descriptions of Scottish malt distilleries and many colour photographs, combined with personal stories from the author.

Malt Whisky Wetenswaardigheden is a strong whisky gift for beginning and curious whisky lovers. Not a dry technical manual, but an informative and personal book for anyone who wants not only to enjoy malt whisky, but also to understand it better.
