The new Malt Whisky Yearbook is out

Any readers wanting to read a pithy but up-to-date and fairly comprehensive survey of the state of the Japanese whisky in 2011, might be interested in the new Malt Whisky Yearbook 2012, in which I wrote the Japanese whisky chapter. I got my copy the other day and haven't had a chance to look through it, but the contents look pretty succulent. Previous editions of this excellent guide have left a full stomach.
