Author Michael Jackson and photographer Harry Cory Wright have produced a doubly individual portrait of Scotland, viewed through a gregarious glass. Whether they are studying ancient forms of barley in the Orkneys, drinking tea with peat-cutters while a storm brews over Islay, or favouring the finished product by the shore at sundown, they bring a personal understanding to the magic of malt. Anyone with even the slightest fancy for Scotland or its water of life will gain much from joining their explorations.

This is a reissue edition of the previously published title Peat Smoke and Spirit (9780747245780), published in 2005. 'This is not simply an appreciation of whisky, but a voyage into the history and geography of a tiny Scottish island' Daily Mail Those who discover malt whisky quickly learn that the malts made on the Isle of Islay are some of the wildest and most characterful in the malt-whisky spectrum. In Whisky Island, Islay's fascinating story is uncovered: from its history and stories of the many shipwrecks which litter its shores, to the beautiful wildlife, landscape and topography of the island revealed through intimate descriptions of the austerely beautiful and remote countryside. Interleaved through these different narrative strands comes the story of the whiskies themselves, traced from a distant past of bothies and illegal stills to present-day legality and prosperity. The flavour of each spirit is analysed and the differences between them teased out, as are the stories of the notable men and women who have played such a integral part in their creation.

In 1885, Alfred Barnard was charged with the task of visiting and reporting on every active Whisky distillery throughout Scotland, Ireland and England. It took him two exhaustive years. In this book you will see the distilleries through his eyes. His detailed descriptions of every step in the distilling process is work that remains unparalleled to this day. But that's only part of the story. As he and his companions traveled the countryside, he fell in love with Scotland and all its grandeur as well as the lush landscapes of Ireland. As you read through this book - presented as an ebook for the very first time - you'll fall in love, as well. Part technical document and part travelogue, you're almost getting two books in one intertwined volume. Granted, this text lacks the visual beauty and splendor of the fine print editions, but the words stand up on their own and will transport you to a Victorian adventure that was, is and always will be one of a kind. This edition does not contain the additional writings of Alfred Barnard that are found in recent print editions, just the text of his original book. There are two additional chapters from his writings giving added detail for Glenglassaugh and Glenfarclas.

The soul - what a great word! Ever since Karl had seen the cult film "Local Hero" with the elegiac music of Mark Knopfler in the 80s, a longing for the grandiose landscape of Scotland had lain dormant in him. For decades, his approach was limited to developing a taste for single malt whiskies. When he finally travelled to Scotland, he naturally had to go on their trail. But where? Single malts are the crown of Scotch whiskies. Speyside on the eastern slope of the Highlands as the "single malt country" par excellence was logically the first place he headed. Whether by bicycle between Glenlivet and Glenfiddich, by roadster to the local hero film location Pennan or by ferry to the home of peat-smoked whiskies, the Isle of Islay - whisky and distilleries were always on the agenda. But not only! Experiencing Scotland means much more to him: seeing magnificent landscapes, meeting unique people and gaining deep insights into history, especially at Edinburgh Castle, where Mary Stuart gave birth to the forefather of all later British monarchs. Karl also has travel impressions of the Isle of Skye, the Orkneys, Loch Ness as well as the economic metropolis Glasgow and the capital Edinburgh in his luggage. There, at the end of his journey, he finally finds a humorous and mischievous answer to the question of what the soul of whisky is and where it is to be found. ((With 68 Coöor photos and 2 GEOGRAPHIC MAPS)) The author Carlo Reltas was a journalist and manager of an international news agency for decades. Since leaving the news business, he lives near Heidelberg and travels.
