Inhaltsangabe
Asked to create a series of illustrations on whisky and its ways, Ralph Steadman embraced the subject with enthusiasm. Enthralled by an industry steeped in rich folklore and mysterious tales as dark as peat, and by the magical liquid that it produces, he embarked on the whisky trail. Travelling the length and breadth of Scotland and its islands he visited distilleries and explored the landscapes on which their whisky depends; he talked to the characters behind them - to the workers and distillers whose nose for the nuances of every inhalation brings them "as near as a human being can get to emulating the homing instinct of a salmon swimming up river to breed". Within the pages of this book, informed and irreverent at the same time, the reader can discover the essence of the truly great whiskies and also less familiar pleasures in the unexpected finds Steadman makes along the way.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. The jacket is lightly shelf stained, else a very nice copy. 160 pages. Included as a loose insert a small recipe booklet 'Galliano presents "The Italian Classics"."Asked to create a book on malt whisky and its ways, Ralph Steadman embraced the subject with characteristic passion and zeal. What resulted from this initial foray was a fascination for an industry rich in folklore, steeped in mysterious tales as dark as peat, and, even more so, for the magical liquid that it produces. And so he embarked on the whisky trail. Traveling the length and breadth of Scotland and its islands, Ralph Steadman looks at the art of blending and the craft of cooperage, at the skill required to choose just the right amount of peat to fire a kiln, and at the cunning needed to smuggle an illicit dram in a pair of wellington boots past a watchman. He also charts the wild days of smuggling and the indelible mark they left on the character of whisky distilling; he considers the element of alchemy involved when the dents in a pot still are so important that they are replicated in each new one that is made; and he explores the origins of distilling in an intriguing jaunt through prehistory."
