Derek Cooper
From the days when production was linked to monastic orders and it was known as aqua vitae 'water of life', to the Excise Act of 1823 when whisky-makers bought licences and acquired respectability, to today when each malt has its own fiercely partisan adherents, malt whisky has exercised both a fascination and a delight in those who drink it. This little book, with its beautifully illustrated depictions of distilleries and their workings, is a mine of information on malt whisky - its history, how and where it is made, descriptions of twenty-four distilleries currently working, and how best malt whisky can be enjoyed.
This modestly priced book is readily available for sale in USA, Canada, Ireland, Britain and mainland Europe.
