A Nip Around the World: The Diary of a Whisky Salesman | Malcolm Greenwood | 1995

A Nip Around the World: The Diary of a Whisky Salesman by Malcolm Greenwood is an unusual whisky book published in 1995, looking at Scotch whisky through the eyes of a travelling whisky salesman.

Rather than concentrating solely on distilleries, production methods or tasting notes, Greenwood focuses on the people, journeys and experiences behind the international whisky trade. The book brings together humorous, ordinary and sometimes curious stories about what happens before the whisky eventually reaches the drinker’s glass.

Greenwood knew the whisky business from the inside, giving the reader an entertaining glimpse behind the scenes of the Scotch whisky industry and international whisky sales.

His personal approach makes this very different from a conventional whisky reference book. It is part whisky memoir, part travel book, filled with experiences and encounters from the working life of a whisky salesman.

Published in 1995, this hardcover edition is an appealing older title for anyone interested in whisky history and the people who helped take Scotch whisky to markets around the world.

It fits naturally within our collection of Rare & Vintage Whisky Books.
