Whisky production has always been interwoven with the fabric of Scottish life. Like bread, it was an important staple agricultural product as well as a social tool. In addition to its role as a beverage, it also fortified travelers, sealed business deals, disinfected wounds, and anaesthetized even the worst pains of toothache and childbirth. The Whisky Trails takes you round the main whisky-producing areas of Scotland. Along the way, you'll take in many breathtaking landscapes, you'll visit a wealth of places of interest, and you'll learn much about the workings and history of this traditional industry. This book is a must for all serious whisky drinkers.
