Malt whisky distilleries use local waters which have percolated through the ancient rocks of Scotland whose origins may lie in a great continental collision, huge granite masses, the earliest fishy seas, great fiery volcanoes or as far away as South America.

Using over one hundred original watercolours by Richard Bell, Stephen and Julie Cribb are your guides to the origins of the ‘water of life’ on your tour of the famous malt whisky distilleries of Scotland.
