Product Description

Product Description

A tour of Scottish distilleries explores the history, personality and mystery of the water of life.

As a native of Scotland, bestselling author Ian Banks has decided to undertake a tour of the distilleries of his homeland in a bid to uncover the unique spirit of the single malt.

Visiting world-famous distilleries and also the small and obscure ones, Iain Banks embarks on a journey of discovery which educates him about the places, people and products surrounding the centuries-old tradition of whisky production.
Using various modes of transport -- island ferries, cars across the highlands and even bicycles -- Banks’ tour of Scotland combines history, literature and landscape in an entertaining and informative account of an exploration in which the arrival is by no means the most important part of the journey. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.


About the Author

Iain Banks was born in Scotland in 1954. His first novel, The Wasp Factory, was published in 1984 to enormous critical acclaim and was declared one of the Best of Young British Writers. He lives in Fife, Scotland. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Par F. W. Young (Toronto, Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Raw Spirit (Hardcover)
It seemed like a good idea - well known author and scotch drinker travelling around Scotland sampling malt whiskeys and writing about his experiences.

Sadly, this book is at least 100 pages too long. Either Banks suffers from loggorhea or his publisher forgot to hire an editor. The sections on whiskey were entertaining and illuminating, but the travel bits - especially Banks' political writing - were stupefying.

More fun would be buying a good bottle and looking at pictures of Scotland.
