The Island Whisky Trail

This guide for the whisky enthusiast covers the distilleries of the Hebrides and the west coast of Scotland. It includes photographs along with travel and local information on established distilleries, such as Bunnahabhain and Bowmore, and newer ones, such as Kilchoman on Islay. Neil Wilson first visited these distilleries aboard the ketch Alystra and wrote Scotch and Water as a result of his trip, delving into the history, development and the people who made the great whiskies of history. This book incorporates material from that book, but also includes much new writing on topics including the Islay malt sector - growing faster than any other in the trade.
