Whisky and Scotland

A beautiful new gift edition of Neil M. Gunn’s classic celebration of malt whisky and its creators, Whisky and Scotland, invites readers to explore the amber spirit that evokes the hills, glens and elemental forces of Scotland. First published in 1935, this classic journey takes you from the Highlands to uncover the traditional techniques that turn barley into liquid gold. Witty and informative, it is Gunn’s lyrical toast to uisge beatha, the Celtic water of life, and to the people who craft whisky across Scotland. This edition presents the enduring history, production and culture surrounding a drink that remains deeply linked to a landscape and its heritage.

The book guides readers through the Highlands to reveal timeless methods and the story behind Scotland’s malt whisky. It combines history, production detail and cultural observation in a tone that is as engaging as it is educational. A gift edition for enthusiasts and newcomers alike, it honors a writer regarded as one of the most important Scottish voices of the twentieth century.
