Scottish Whisky River

Scottish Whisky River. Distilleries of Speyside. Why are half the distilleries in Scotland to be found along one river and its surrounding glens ? Why were monks at the forefront of developing whisky ? Which Speyside distillery has an annual migration of toads ? How did Glenrothes distillery expel its ghost ? Robin Laing, singer-songwriter, author of The Whisky Muse, and chair of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's Tasting Panel, set out to visit every distillery in the Speyside area, from Benromach to Tomintoul, and presents a guide to each of them here. There are descriptions of over 50 distilleries on Speyside, including The Macallan, The Glenlivet, Cardhu, Aberlour, Glenfiddich and Glen Grant. Each entry is part history, part travelogue and part commentary on the changes in the whisky industry. Includes personal musings by the author, stories associated with the distillery, and snippets of poetry and song.

Laing's 'spirit' guide in his journey is Alfred Barnard, author of 1887's The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom. Barnard visited many of the same distilleries that Laing visits now and similarly left his impressions of the state of the facilities and the beauty of the surroundings. Much of this present book compares what Barnard found with what exists now, and the differences, and similarities are often fascinating. The Whisky River: Distilleries of Speyside.

Best Scotch Whisky

Scotch whisky is a phenomenon: it is exported to two hundred countries around the world. Scotch is also unique, no other product, in any category, anywhere in the world, is named after its country of origin. Every brand of whisky that is distilled in Scotland bears the descriptor: "Scotch Whisky". And proud of it. This book looks at Scotch as an uber-brand and tells the story of its enduring spirit. Individual brands like Glenfiddich or Glenmorangie have their own brand essence, positioning statements and values. But they all rely on the "Scotch" brand to win new customers and retain the loyalty of existing ones. Stuart Delves provides a fascinating examination of how such a brand evolved across the world, its unique role in the industry, its future, and the key lessons for other brands.
