‘For the reader who knows little about whisky, this is a book that
will easily and enjoyably fill that gap.’ Sir Alexander McCall
Smith This stylish, comprehensive guide takes the reader from the
origins of distilling in 1200BC, through remarkable stories of the
pioneers and inventors that have helped shape the story of whisky,
to the issues surrounding whisky production today: from
sustainability concerns to the use of heritage barley and corn and
the problem of fake whiskys. Award-winning writers Charles MacLean
and Gavin D. Smith offer a rollocking narrative, describing the
adventures of legendary characters who shaped the whisky industry,
from John Jameson in Dublin to ‘Nearest Green’ and Jack Daniels in
Tennessee, they explore its cultural heritage and journey across
the world: from Ernest Shackleton in the South Antarctic to today’s
growth of single malt in the USA, and find out how only three basic
ingredients – grain, yeast and water – combine to make a drink
with so many different flavours.The loose chronological approach
starts with the origins of distilling, mainly in China and India,
and follows through whisky’s early origins as an illicit alcohol
made in the hills of Scotland and Ireland, to the exciting small
batch whiskies being produced today by craft distillers and master
blenders all over the world. The Story of Whisky immerses the
reader in over 100 stories, legends and anecdotes, illustrated with
historical images and stunning photographs of landscapes and iconic
distilleries: inside and out, and is designed to entertain as well
as educate. Learn how whisky came to be the global success story of
today and understand how to appreciate exactly what is in your
glass.With flavour influenced as much by history, craft and
tradition as it is by science, in The Story of Whisky, readers can
find out why their drink tastes the way it does, where whisky
flavours come from and how they are changing to embrace the future.
The Story of Whisky is the essential guide for any aficionado.
