Scotch Whisky1 review
Gavin D. Smith

Alan Sutton Publishing, Ltd., 2000

Can't recommend this book highly enough...
Let me start by stating that I am an avid reader of anything and everything. I mention this because this book is, for the most part, a pictorial record where the story is told through the captions. But I nevertheless find this book engrossing and throroughly enjoy its unromanticized, historical view of the distilling of my favourite drink. Don't get this book looking for colour photos of sunsets ...
