Scotch - The Whisky of Scotland in Fact & Story

Widely regarded as a whisky classic, Lockhart’s book offers a thoughtful exploration of Scotch and its origins. This fully revised and updated edition includes a foreword written by his late son in 1995 and delves into some of the lesser-known chapters in the industry’s history. The author's family connection to Balmenach Distillery in Speyside is given particular attention, alongside insightful commentary on the cultural and historical relationship between the Scots and whisky—and reflections on where that relationship may be headed. Despite being originally written in the 1960s, much of Lockhart’s perspective remains relevant today, making this an essential read for any whisky enthusiast.
