Jokes, quotes and stories about whisky to entertain from the lighter side of the whisky industry. A selection of leading whisky industry personalities give their favourite stories about the "cratur" and the text is lively with a series of historic Punch and modern cartoons.

A pictorial record of the Scottish distilling industry and its development. The text approaches the subject from a predominantly visual viewpoint, making use of the extensive photographic archives held by many distilling companies and other related organizations. As such, it should appeal to the whisky connoisseur and expert who has previously only encountered occasional "archive" pictures in more general whisky books. The photographs have been chosen by a leading whisky writer with an extensive knowledge of Scottish social history, and his accompanying captions enhance and explore the pictures which illuminate the process of whisky production from a small-scale, largely farm-based business into one of Scotland's leading export earners and most internationally identifiable products.
