The Story Of Whisky

Award-winning writers Charles MacLean and Gavin D. Smith offer a rollocking narrative, describing the adventures of legendary characters who shaped the whisky industry, from John Jameson in Dublin to ‘Nearest Green’ and Jack Daniels in Tennessee. They explore whisky’s cultural heritage and journey across the world - from Ernest Shackleton in the South Antarctic to today’s growth of single malt in the USA - and find out how only three basic ingredients combine to make a drink with so many different flavours.
