Chasing the Dram; Finding the Spirit of Whisky | Rachel McCormack

Chasing the Dram: Finding the Spirit of Whisky by Rachel McCormack is a lively English-language whisky book about Scotland, whisky, food and culture. In this book, McCormack travels through the country that made whisky world-famous and explores how deeply the spirit is woven into Scottish life.

Whisky has been Scotland’s national drink for centuries, but Rachel McCormack argues that it is too often treated only as something to drink. In Chasing the Dram, she shows how whisky can also play a culinary, cultural and social role. She looks at whisky as an ingredient, a flavour, a tradition and a source of stories.

The book combines anecdotes, history, interviews with distillers, encounters with memorable people and surprising recipes. McCormack visits famous distilleries as well as smaller craft producers, giving readers a broad and personal view of the modern Scottish whisky world.

Chasing the Dram is ideal for whisky lovers who want to go beyond tasting notes. It is also an inspiring choice for readers interested in Scotland, travel, cooking with whisky, food pairing and stories about the people behind the spirit.
