Description

Whisky Island: A Portrait of Islay and Its Whiskies

This is not simply an appreciation of whisky, but a journey into the history and geography of a tiny Scottish island. Andrew Jefford uncovers the fascinating story of Islay, from its history and stories of shipwrecks to the beautiful wildlife and landscape of the island.

The whiskies themselves are also revealed, traced from a distant past of bothies and illegal stills to present-day legality and prosperity. The flavour of each spirit is analysed, along with the stories of notable men and women who have played an integral part in their creation.
