{"product_id":"the-whisky-distilleries-of-the-united-kingdom","title":"The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom","description":"\u003cp\u003eAround 1885  Alfred Barnard was secretary of Harpers Weekly Gazette  a journal dedicated to the wine and spirit trade. In order to provide his readers with the history and descriptions of the whisky-making process  Barnard decided to visit each distillery in Scotland  England and Ireland. Accompanied by friends  he visited over 150 distilleries. The names found in his reports still excite the dedicated whisky connoisseur today  as well as others whose fame has faded at the turn of the 19th century. The appeal of Barnards book lies not only in the technical descriptions of each distillerys processes  but also in the colourful descriptions of his journeys  brimming with historical colour and detail. A superbly illustrated facsimile edition  with over 200 engravings  this book is a complete guide to the origins of Scotlands national drink  as well as a lively picture of life and travel in the Victorian age. This new revised edition has finally gathered together all of Alfred Barnards writings on the whisky distilleries of the United Kingdom  making it the definitive collection on the subject.
