Whiskies Galore: A Tour of Scotland's Island Distilleries | Ian Buxton

Whiskies Galore: A Tour of Scotland’s Island Distilleries by Ian Buxton is an atmospheric English-language whisky book for lovers of Scotland’s island whiskies. In this fully updated edition, Buxton takes readers on a tour of the distilleries, islands and stories behind some of Scotland’s most characterful whiskies.

From Islay and Orkney to Shetland, Tiree and other Scottish islands, this book shows why island whiskies hold such a special place in the whisky world. Their remote locations, rugged landscapes, maritime influences and distinctive flavours make them fascinating for both new whisky drinkers and experienced enthusiasts.

Ian Buxton combines whisky knowledge with travel writing, historical context and sharp observation. He covers not only established island distilleries, but also recent developments across the Scottish islands, including new and planned distilleries such as Benbecula, Ardnahoe, Port Ellen, Portintruan, Laggan Bay, Isle of Tiree and Shetland Reel.

Buxton also offers his own distinctive views on current topics such as whisky investment, luxury marketing and private cask sales. As a result, Whiskies Galore is more than a travel guide: it is a lively portrait of the modern world of Scottish island whisky.

An excellent choice for lovers of Islay whisky, Orkney whisky, Scottish distilleries, travel writing and whisky history.
