Whiskies Galore: A Tour of Scotland`s Island Distilleries

Island whiskies have long held a fascination and a powerful emotional draw on whisky drinkers the world over. Their special combination of heritage, mystique, and remote location captures the imagination; their highly distinctive flavours are often imitated but seldom bettered. There have been few books on island whisky and none written in recent years.But `Whiskies Galore` is not your average whisky book. It is not simply a catalogue of distilleries, but a story of discovery and adventure. Join Ian Buxton on a personal journey across Scotland`s islands, where he learns to fish with high explosives, ends up hurling his dinner into the sea, and comes face to face with a basking shark. Combining an expert`s knowledge of whisky with a travel writer`s fondness for anecdote, and with a keen description of place, he provides a special treat for all who love the islands` magical drams.
