Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Around 1885, Alfred Barnard, then secretary of Harper’s Weekly Gazette, embarked on a journey to document the whisky-making process for his readers. He visited over 150 distilleries across Scotland, England, and Ireland, capturing the essence of each location. His reports feature names that still resonate with whisky enthusiasts today, alongside those that have faded into obscurity. The allure of Barnard’s work lies in its blend of technical detail and vibrant storytelling, enriched with historical context. This superbly illustrated facsimile edition includes over 200 engravings, serving as a comprehensive guide to the origins of Scotland’s national drink while painting a lively picture of Victorian life and travel. The revised edition consolidates all of Barnard’s writings on UK whisky distilleries, establishing it as the definitive collection on the subject. New additions feature visits to notable distilleries such as Pattison & Elder & Co., Glenfarclas-Glenlivet, and explorations of blending Scotch whisky, enhancing the depth and breadth of this essential resource for whisky lovers.
