Quick: "The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know It All" by Richard Betts

Quick: The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know It All by Richard Betts, 2015, 9780544520608.

A big board book my wife bought me for Christmas. This is a basic "learn about whiskey" book but with neat illustrations and scratch and sniff panels.  The scratch and sniff panels are for the aroma of various ingredients and from the resulting product: corn and what or cinnamon and malts.

A fast read and fun to read and sniff through. Comes with neat fold up chart so you can follow your preferred ingredients and floral notes to find a whiskey. The chart is a whiskey wheel similar to  this at malt-review.com: http://malt-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Whiskywheel-Big.jpg.

The problem with reading this and other whiskey or beer books is that I read about great spirits and brews but those great spirits and brews come with great price tags.
