Opis

In Scotland, between 1750 and the present day, over 700 distilleries have been legally registered to make single malt Scotch whisky. Of those there are 100 in production today. Blighted by punitive taxation, war, poor harvests, prohibition, the temperance movement, corruption, recession, takeovers and mergers as well as the inevitable interference of the company accountant, those that have survived each has a unique tale to tell. For many the story is quite simple: they produce the right style of malt whisky for use in the big brands of blended Scotch whiskies. From Glenturret to Daft Mill, the history of every surviving distillery is told in this book.
