About this product
Product Information
Island whiskies have long held a fascination and a powerful emotional draw on whisky drinkers the world over. Their special combination of heritage, mystique, and remote location captures the imagination; their highly distinctive flavours are often imitated but seldom bettered. There have been few books on island whisky and none written in recent years. But Whiskies Galore is not your average whisky book. It is not simply a catalogue of distilleries, but a story of discovery and adventure. Join Ian Buxton on a personal journey across Scotland's islands, where he learns to fish with high explosives, ends up hurling his dinner into the sea, and comes face to face with a basking shark. Combining an expert's knowledge of whisky with a travel writer's fondness for anecdote, and with a keen description of place, he provides a special treat for all who love the islands' magical drams.

Reviews
If you've read any of Bill Bryson's books you'll understand exactly where Ian's coming from ... Full of interest for whisky lovers and non-lovers alike - funny stories and full of obscure nerdy information from an expert in the field', something special, too, about this fascinating book ... All in all, this is the real thing - a single malt of a book - a lovely and loving read', A tour, an investigation, a fact finding mission, done with the utmost geniality by a man whose blood is most probably a pale amber hue... you can almost smell the peat, hear the clink of glasses and see the wind on the heather!', Ian Buxton is one of the country's best known and most prolific whisky writers and he writes on the subject with a fondness and knowledge, not to mention humour, which comes from a lifetime surrounded by whisky. His relaxed and conversational style makes the book a very enjoyable read', his often hilarious travelogue mercilessly exposes cant, yet his profound love of these extraordinary places and our spirits is never in doubt', Sardonic, unsentimental and often very funny ... the most original drink book I've read in a long time ... this book will make you love Scotch whisky all the more', You Will Learn Far more in this Offbeat Odyssey than in a Hundred more Straightforward Whisky Books', A delightful grand tour of island distilleries. A great read: it mixes childhood recollections, laments about Hebridean weather, historical anecdotes and 101 astute, humorous observations'
