Quality Writing and Photography November 8, 2003
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The author and photographer’s collaboration gives us a work that vividly portrays Scotland and its whiskies. Written and visual images rather than details such as lists of distilleries and bottlings are in these pages. It is a perfect read while enjoying a fine single malt. The greatest negative is that it is too easy to keep reading and enjoying on into the third or fourth glass.
A good read when planning a visit. There is useful information and material that doesn’t always find its way into guidebooks. The descriptions evoke clear images that are amplified by the photographs; helpful when planning for the memorable experience of enjoying a countryside and its distilleries.
For those who enjoy a read about Scotland and its whisky then this book is a recommended investment. It will compliment any book collection that holds works on whisky.
A Whisky Tale at a Winterys Fire January 16, 2002
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This beautiful coffee-table book is the pictorial companion to Michael Jackson's authoritative Whisky Companion. The author and his photographer Harry Cory Wright take us on a marvellous journey, from the lowlands across the isles to Orkney and south again to Speyside, drawing romantic and grandiose portraits of the great whiskies, the distilleries and their landscapes.
While your friends are tasting your rare malts collection you should pass around this volume and show off your exquisite taste by adding expert comments on the various brands. Better still, keep the whisky and the book to yourself; settle down in a leather Georgian wing chair, in front of a winter's fire and be carried off to that whiskiest of all islands, savouring your Lagavulin, Bowmore or Bunnahabhain.
The magnificent photographs of Harry Cory Wright evoke the magic and diversity of Scotland's moors, hills and coasts and leave no doubt why such a stiff and enticing drink originates from that country. This is the ultimate guide on how to become a drunk in style.
