Book Reviews of Scotland and its Whiskies: The Great Whiskies, the Distilleries and Their Landscapes
Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for a friend who likes single malt scotch & non-fiction books. After looking at it, I read it & bought my friend another copy. The writing is terrific & the photography beatiful. My friend & I are planning a trip to Scotland when we retire & I have started enjoying a wee dram of the water of life occasionally.
Summary of Scotland and its Whiskies: The Great Whiskies, the Distilleries and Their Landscapes
In hisMalt Whisky Companion, Michael Jackson—past winner of The Glenfiddich Trophy and no fewer than five Glenfiddich Awards—was the first writer to describe in detail the aromas and flavors of Scotland?s most famous product. Now he goes even deeper into the world of whisky, discussing the terroir that shapes the taste of this classic liquor. Jackson?s passion for Scotland and its whiskies comes through clearly and deliciously, and photographer Harry Cory Wright (Strand: The Shifting Sands of the Outer Hebrides) beautifully captures the landscape?s magnificent colors and textures. Whether studying the ancient forms of barley in the Orkneys, drinking tea with peat-cutters while a storm brews over Islay, or preferring the finished product by the shore at sundown, they bring a personal understanding to the magic of malt.Spirits Books
