This is the ultimate guide to Scottish whisky distilleries, painstakingly researched by Misako Udo: a vital accessory for any dedicated whisky lover. With nearly a hundred working whisky distilleries in Scotland - and hundreds more that have shut down and been lost over the long centuries of Scotland's infatuation with uisage beatha - there's a great deal of information to cover and The Scottish Whisky Distilleries is the most thorough and meticulous cataloguing of the whisky industry in Scotland that there has ever been. Each entry includes information on the distillery's history, the type of whisky produced, the blends contributed to and the full range of single malts, information on washes, casks, full details of visiting hours and facilities - the Scottish love of whisky is well documented but it's never been as well served. An exhaustive directory of information sure to quench the curiosity of the most insatiable whisky fan - the ideal companion to a round trip of Scotland as a whisky tourist, or a night in as an armchair dram fan - The Scottish Whisky Distilleries is simply the most comprehensive book of its kind available.

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.
