Whisky A to Z Index

The Whisky A to Z Index is an alphabetical route to the reference pages on whiskydistillery.co.uk. Use it when you know the name or term you want, whether that is a distillery, a brand, a production term or a subject you want to understand.

[TOOL TO BUILD]

Choose a letter to browse entries, then select an entry to open its page. If you are unsure which spelling to look for, try the main word in the name rather than a descriptive phrase.

The index is for finding a particular subject, not for ranking bottles, brands or distilleries. An entry’s position reflects its name, not an editorial judgement about its quality or importance.

Find the right kind of entry

Some names can refer to more than one thing. Read the short description beside an entry before opening it, especially when you are looking for the place where a whisky is made rather than the name on a bottle.

Entry descriptions distinguish the following kinds of page:

• Distillery: a page about a production site.
• Brand or range: a page about whisky released under a particular name.
• Independent bottler: a page about a business that bottles whisky.
• Owner group: a page about a company and its whisky interests.
• Country or region: a guide to a geographical area.
• Topic or term: an explanation of a subject, process or expression.

These labels help you choose the page that answers your question. They are navigation aids, not substitutes for the definitions, evidence and qualifications in the article itself.

Names, spellings and related subjects

Look under the name you have, including the spelling used on a bottle or in the source you are reading. Where an alternative name or spelling has an index entry, it should direct you to the same main page rather than a second version of the article.

A related subject is not necessarily an alternative name. A company, its distillery and its brands may need separate entries because each answers a different question. Follow the description rather than assuming that similar names identify the same thing.

How to use what you find

Open the full page before relying on a short index description for a technical, legal or historical point. The article is where you will find the explanation, its sources and the date it was last checked.

For a focused question, start with the most specific matching entry. For a broader introduction, choose a subject guide rather than an individual name. Once there, use the article’s contextual links to follow the next part of the subject without returning to the alphabetical list.
