Scots on scotch

Geschreven door: Phillip Hills

Taal: Engels

This is a book in which Scots tell the truth about their national drink. Ignoring the mythology which surrounds Scotland and her favourite tipple, it is written by people who are passionate about their subject, who know what they write about and who love what they know. It is about whisky and about Scotland - the real Scotland behind the invented images of the advertisers and the gift shops.

Over the last 40 years Scots have reasserted their spiritual and cultural independence, and as part of this process they have rediscovered the unique quality of their national drink. This renaissance is a cause for celebration not only by Scots but also by the rest of the world. Malt whiskies have risen from a minority taste in a small nation to become internationally recognised as the connoisseur's spirit par excellence.
