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.
Origins and Rise of the British Distillery
This monograph substantiates the industry's rise and contributions in an age when distilled beverages had much good to contribute to mankind and added to the power of the West, to explore, to trade and to conquer where others sickened and failed. The text contains rich anecdotal material and contempporary observations that illuminate the subject from Tudor times to the mid-18th century.
Scotch Missed
Townsend details the ruins of almost every Victorian working distillery in Scotland, from the remnants of once-great concerns such as Saucel Distillery in Paisley to a tumble of bricks and mortar in a remote location, like Glen Tarras at Langholm.
The Distilleries of Campbeltown
"The origins of the vast growth in the whisky trade in Campbeltown in the 19th century lie in the illicit distilling that was carried out throughout Kintyre in the 17th and 18th centuries. Generations of people, both native and settler, who farmed and fished also distilled on a regular basis. When legislation encouraged legal distilling in Scotland in the 1820s, Campbeltown began to boom as distilleries were erected at breakneck speed. Many former illicit distillers turned to the legal trade and began to build thriving businesses that were to transform the town over the course of the next 70 years." "By 1930 the trade had almost vanished and only three distilleries remained, working: Rieclachan, Springbank and Scotia. When David Stirk worked at Wm Cadenhead Ltd. in Campbeltown he asked himself why this had happened and set about researching the circumstances of this industrial collapse." "The result was The Distilleries of Campbeltown which is the first major, indepth study of the whisky industry in the town. It is therefore an essential reference work for anyone with an interest in Kintyre, Campbeltown and the whisky trade."--BOOK JACKET.
