A Double Scotch [Pacult] A Double Scotch [Pacult]

A History of Chivas and Glenlivet, presumably commissioned by current owners Pernod, light easy reading style aimed at the American reader (and so tiresomely wordy, in my opinion).


(Price excluding VAT:  £16.99) £16.99 


Best Collection Of Malt Scotch Whisky (Zagatti) Best Collection Of Malt Scotch Whisky (Zagatti)
WHISKY COLLECTORS! A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION

An astonishing book. Or more correctly, an astonishing collection, one of the most complete collections of Scotch malt whisky bottles in the world.

A large format book, published 1999 & just short of 300 pages, and the print and paper quality is faultless.

Every serious collector of whiskies who has seen it has bought a copy on the spot. We immediately found it an essential reference work when discussing matters with our customers-particularly when identifying a bottle found in dad's cabinet.

For less than the price of a Macallan 25yo, this book gives you 2,400 bottles!

Pictured is just one of 8 spreads devoted to 256 Macallans!




(Price excluding VAT:  £80.00) £80.00 


Best Collection Of Malt Volume II (Zagatti) Best Collection Of Malt Volume II (Zagatti)

Companion volume to that below and very worthwhile.

A further 190 pages devoted to new Scotch malt additions to the collection plus a few Irish and (absolutely fascinating) American whiskies.

If you are happy with volume one then volume two is essential, no repetition or reworking. When I heard this was in production I was sceptical but have no hesitation recommending this.




(Price excluding VAT:  £60.00) £60.00 


History Of The Distillers Company (Weir) History Of The Distillers Company (Weir)

A gran' tour round Islay, well researched requirement on your book shelves.

Scotch Whisky - Its Past & Present (Daiches) Scotch Whisky - Its Past & Present (Daiches)
Long published (1969) but still respected study by someone who can write rather well. So he should - he's a Professor of English. (Not that that makes much difference these days).

By the way I'm dyslexic, so that explains this web-shite.

Scotland's Malt Whisky Distilleries (Hughes) Scotland's Malt Whisky Distilleries (Hughes)

"Survival of the Fittest".

There are only so many ways of skinning a cat and ex-finance director Hughes has found a novel and intresting way of producing much the same result. He makes a historical overview as to why the surviving distilleries have survived - the counter to 'Scotch Missed' I suppose.

Paperback 96 pages.


(Price excluding VAT:  £16.99) £16.99 


The Whisky Barons (Andrews) The Whisky Barons (Andrews)

Reprint of one of my favorite books, allbeit rather nastily done by lacking many of the originals photos.

Paperback 145 pages.

The Whisky Men [Smith] The Whisky Men [Smith]
