A Dark History of Whisky | Gary Dobbs

A Dark History of Whisky by Gary Dobbs is not a standard whisky book filled only with tasting notes and distillery history. This English-language hardback dives into the darker, stranger and often forgotten side of whisky: a world of myths, mystery, ghosts, cannibals, intrigues and macabre events.

Whisky has a rich history of tradition, craftsmanship and romance, but behind the familiar stories lies a rougher past. Gary Dobbs takes readers through hidden chapters of the whisky world and shows that single malt, distilleries and whisky culture also have a noir-like side.

The book combines historical anecdotes, memorable whisky quotes and fascinating stories that are perfect for a long evening with a dram in hand. This makes A Dark History of Whisky especially suitable for whisky lovers who want to look beyond the usual guides, tasting notes and polished marketing stories.

This is an original gift for the whisky enthusiast who seems to have read everything. Atmospheric, dark and entertaining, it is a whisky book for readers who enjoy history, mystery, folklore and the strange stories behind their favourite drink.
