Review of the
new Scottish Whisky Distilleries book
from Destinworld Publishing which is
aimed at whisky tourists.
 Scottish
Whisky Distilleries is a new full colour
guide to Scotland’s whisky distilleries
from Destinworld Publishing which is
aimed at whisky fans and the many whisky
tourists who visit Scotland (during
normal times) each year.
The book starts with a brief
introduction and explanation of how
Scotch whisky is made. The main body of
the book is split into the main whisky
regions of Scotland - Highland,
Speyside, Lowland Islay and Campeltown,
there is no Islands region these
distilleries will be found listed under
the distilleries of the Highland region.
Each whisky region starts with a map of
the region highlighting the location of
each distillery throughout that region
which is handy if you are planning on
touring around a few distilleries.
There is a colour photo of most of the
distilleries, the info provided for each
distillery varies, some have a brief
history, some have some detailed
production info, some have details of
the style of whisky the distillery
produces. The distilleries that have
visitor centres are covered in more
detail.
For those who may be interested in the
book if they are planning on touring
some distilleries will find whether the
distillery has a visitor centre and some
info on what the distillery has to offer
to visitors. Each distillery listing
also has a website address and phone
number to double check what each
distillery offers visitors and whether
the distillery will be open on the day
you wish to visit or to check whether
you have to pre-book your visit which is
advisable to do during these strange
ever changing times. Each listing also
has the address, including the postcode,
to enter into your Sat Nav.
The book ends with a short listing of
good whisky bars which you will find
when touring around Scotland. Overall a
good colourful wee book that will fit in
the glovebox of the car if you are
touring around Scotland but there are
better more informative options if you
are planning on touring around
Scotland's distilleries such as
Discovering Scotland's Distilleries
which was last updated in 2016 but still
a excellent guide.
Scottish Whisky Distilleries has a price
tag of £12.99 and you will find it
available from
Amazon
