Essential Scratch & Sniff Whisky

In this witty kid-style book on an adult topic, Richard Betts boils down all you need to be a whisky know-it-all into 20 pages, making the learning slide down easy, reassuring us that this exalted spirit is just distilled beer and, through a nasal romp, helping us figure out which kinds we love best. Humorous illustrations and scratch-and-sniff scents of vanilla, sandalwood, grass and more help would be connoisseurs learn their preferences.
