Welcome to the inaugural issue of our new magazine. World Whisky & More is a new “old” idea of ours that we have wanted to pursue for a while. We have a wonderful community and a great set of whisky specialist friends throughout the world and we thought it was time to explore and cover the topic of ‘World Whisky’ in a new and refreshing way, with discussions with our friends, interviews and insights, and other entertaining content that could create a bridge between producers, industry professionals and consumers. WW&M is more like a collaboration and a forum about innovation, environmental issues and other developments in the industry rather than just another magazine. We are lucky to have such a great mixture of contributors, as well as input from the different awards and competitions, so that we can help some of the smaller distillers and innovators shine and make the industry a more colourful place. As they say, variety is the spice of life.

Revised and updated in 2013, 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die is a whisky guide with a difference. It is not an awards list. It is not a list of the 101 'best' whiskies in the world in the opinion of a self-appointed whisky guru. It is simply a guide to the 101 whiskies that enthusiasts must seek out and try in order to complete their whisky education. Avoiding the deliberately obscure, the ridiculously limited and the absurdly expensive, whisky expert Ian Buxton recommends an eclectic selection of old favourites, stellar newcomers and mystifyingly unknown drams that simply have to be drunk. The book decodes the marketing hype and gets straight to the point; whether from India, America, Sweden, Ireland, Japan or the hills, glens and islands of Scotland, here are the 101 whiskies that you really want. Try them before you die - Slainte!

We had an amazing start of the year with a very busy drinks competition judging season and the third annual gathering of the Council of Whiskey Masters - and both of us as examination chairmen at this historical event. The first ever Master of Whiskey exams (Level 4) were a success and our visit to the Isle of Raasay and eponymous distillery was just joy. Raasay DIstillery is a must visit if one is visiting Skye it is a must to go over to Raasay. Avoid missing out on something special and take the ferry over to see Alasdair and the team. At this years Swiss Spirits Review we got many amazing entries to talk about and there are some beautiful new releases and discoveries from our work at International Drinks Specialists in our Editor’s Choice. We continue to grow and welcome new contributors including the legendary Joe Micallef as cultural editor. We also feel that we must mention our very talented art director Elani doing a wonderful job with designing our magazine and working with us so nicely. Thank you!

From Austria to Argentina and Norway to New Zealand, the world of whisky is expanding as we have never seen before.

Guaranteed to appeal equally to whisky aficionados and new enthusiasts in search of a trusty and well-informed guide, Ian Buxton's wonderful new handbook is delivered in his trademark irreverent and trenchant style. There's a whole world of whisky to be discovered, free of bagpipes and heather and far from leather-clad fireside armchairs, that's overturning tradition.

Shortly after graduating from University of Glasgow in 1934, Elizabeth “Bessie” Williamson began working as a temporary secretary at the Laphroaig Distillery on the Scottish island Islay. Williamson quickly found herself joining the boys in the tasting room, studying the distillation process, and winning them over with her knowledge of Scottish whisky. After the owner of Laphroaig passed away, Williamson took over the prestigious company and became the American spokesperson for the entire Scotch whisky industry. Impressing clients and showing her passion as the Scotch Whisky Association’s trade ambassador, she soon gained fame within the industry, becoming known as the greatest female distiller. Whiskey Women tells the tales of women who have created this industry, from Mesopotamia’s first beer brewers and distillers to America’s rough-and-tough bootleggers during Prohibition. Women have long distilled, marketed, and owned significant shares in spirits companies. Williamson’s story is one of many among the influential women who changed the Scotch whisky industry as well as influenced the American bourbon whiskey and Irish whiskey markets. Until now their stories have remained untold.

101 World Whiskies To Try Before You Die is the companion guide to 2010's 101 Whiskies To Try Before You Die. Ian Buxton again eschews the obvious whiskies and recommends another 101 whiskies that he believes every whisky lover should taste. In Ian Buxton's new collection of whisky recommendations he has cast his net wider. He includes not only whiskies from the established whisky-producing countries, but also many newcomers. The book includes whiskies from Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, India, Ireland, Japan, The Netherlands, Scotland, Taiwan, USA and Wales. All the whiskies included are both affordable and accessible. Ian Buxton does not believe in collecting whiskies or investing in whisky. He believes in tasting and enjoying the huge range of whiskies that are available. The book includes single malts and blends - and provacatively a few renegade suggestions that are bound to offend purists.
