Description

Islay and Jura are the mystical, magical islands in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides that boast nine active distilleries, countless world renowned blends and malts and their own whisky classification, safe by Scots law. This book is a party of the whiskies of Islay and Jura, and of the islands that shaped them. With a population of just over 3,000 between them, Islay and Jura produce one of the crucial finest whiskies on the earth. Islay is possibly best known for smoky, phenolic spirits, such as Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg. These have been distilled in its rocky coves of the sheltered east coast for more than 200 years. But in fact Islay and Jura produce a dram for each and every palette, and their vibrant and expanding whisky industry is a continuing source of renewed excellence and taste innovation. Fiona Rintoul provides a background and history to the islands and their distilling, alongside tasting notes at the main malts and blends. Konrad Borkowski, who lives on Jura, provides stunning full color photographs, documenting each and every distillery at work through the seasons.
