Overview

For centuries, whisky has tickled the palettes of the famous and the infamous alike, the good as well as the downright sinful. In Whisky Tales , Charles MacLean pours a lifetime's passion and knowledge of Scotch whisky into an extraordinary array of anecdotes about this popular drink and those who have loved it, from Robbie Burns to Dave Allen. This is the perfect weekend reading for all whisky lovers - all sorts of 'drams' from ghost stories, tales of illicit smuggling operations and feuding between the Scottish whisky families, to poems and literary celebrations of 'the world's finest spirit and Scotland's most generous gift to the world'. Wide ranging in its scope, yet served up in easily digestible portions, liberally spiced with quirky and unusual stories and quotations, Whisky Tales delves seams which have been previously ignored and opens up long-closed galleries. Elegant and informative, this is a book which will be consumed in appreciative sips by anyone with an interest in good drink and good living.
