Whisky and Scotland: A Spiritual Journey from Glen to Glass | Neil M. Gunn

Whisky and Scotland: A Spiritual Journey from Glen to Glass by Neil M. Gunn is a timeless English-language whisky classic about Scotch malt whisky and the landscape from which it comes. First published in 1935, the book remains a much-loved tribute to whisky, Scotland and the culture of uisge beatha, the “water of life”.

Neil M. Gunn, one of Scotland’s great twentieth-century writers, takes readers on an atmospheric journey through the Highlands. He writes about glens, distilleries, old production methods, natural elements and the deep-rooted traditions that give Scotch whisky its character.

This is not a modern tasting guide with scores or tasting notes, but a literary and poetic book about the experience of whisky. Gunn views whisky as part of landscape, community, history and craftsmanship. His warm, witty style makes the book appealing to whisky lovers as well as readers interested in Scottish culture and classic travel writing.

Whisky and Scotland is ideal for lovers of single malt whisky, Scotland, whisky history and literary non-fiction. Its compact softcover format also makes this classic a thoughtful gift for anyone who wants not only to taste whisky, but to understand it.
