Product Description
Whiskey- uisge beatha, Gaelic for "water of life"- is now one of the country's largest exports, but it has been drunk in Scotland for many hundreds of years. Now updated, redesigned and completely revised, this very popular Wee Guide covers the history and development of whisky, the early days of illicit distilling, how whisky is made, and the different characters of malt whiskies from around the country. The book includes forty-eight distilleries which can be visited, as well as museums and shops, with opening, websites and contact details, plus a map and more than 100 photographs.
