Scotch: The Stories Behind Scotland's Iconic Spirit
Taking a road trip of 8,000 miles across Scotland to understand the world’s obsession with this iconic tipple, Stuart Husband and Horst A. Friedrichs journeyed from Springbank distillery in Campbeltown via the Isle of Harris to Ardbeg on the Isle of Islay; and traversed the Lowlands to explore legendary Speyside single malts. Each distillery is accompanied by photographs of the people who work there, the breathtaking scenery, the machinery, barrels, fields, grains, copper and glassware that go into making fine scotch.
