I've been learning about Scotch Whisky and picked up this book as a counter-reference to some other books on the subject, and as a "second opinion" I thought it did well. However, while there is a lot of useful info in here, the focus was a bit narrow; There are overviews of the major whisky distilleries, and tasting notes of one (sometimes two) bottlings, but this book is by no means exhaustive.
I should also point out that everyone's palate is different, and having Ms. Arthur's tasting notes was very valuable because her notes occasionally run different from my other sources, giving me a broader spectrum to compare against when deciding whether to buy a bottle of scotch untried. For example, I dislike too much peat in my scotch, and having a second or third source makes it more likely I'd get some good pointers from at least one of them. This book is very useful in that regard.
