A new year means a new Malt Whisky Yearbook – the definitive guide to whisky shops, whisky sites, whisky books and, well, whisky.

2006’s Yearbook was a smash success, and this is sure to follow suit. There’s statistics (of what, we’re not sure), plenty of photos, a retrospective on the whisky year that was and features by a barrel load of whisky celebrities.

And at only $27.50 including shipping (from its only retailer in the US), it’s a must-read for who drink a lot of malt whisky.

And likely to be that one-eyed reading required when you’ve been, like, drinking a lot of malt whisky.
