Unique Distilleries of Scotland & Ireland | Malcolm Greenwood | 2001

Unique Distilleries of Scotland & Ireland: In the Footsteps of Alfred Barnard by Malcolm Greenwood is a fascinating whisky book published in 2001, inspired by one of the most famous journeys in whisky history.

In 1885, writer and journalist Alfred Barnard began an extraordinary tour of the distilleries of the United Kingdom and Ireland. His travels were later recorded in the classic The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom. More than a century later, Malcolm Greenwood retraced part of Barnard’s route, revisiting distilleries from Barnard’s era and selecting those he considered particularly distinctive.

The result combines whisky history, distillery visits, travel writing and colour photography. Greenwood looks at how distilleries had changed since Barnard’s nineteenth-century journey and explores the character of remarkable producers in both Scotland and Ireland.

For readers interested in distillery history, the book offers an appealing link between Barnard’s historic observations and the whisky industry at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The illustrated presentation also makes it an attractive book to browse as well as read.

Published in 2001, this older title is a natural addition to our Rare & Vintage Whisky Books collection, particularly for enthusiasts of whisky history, distilleries and the work of Alfred Barnard.
