We've used this as a primary resource (along with Michael Jackson's "Scotland and its Whiskies) to plan two visits to Scotland and its distilleries so far. Then used it along with a detailed roadmap to find our way around. It has been an invaluable resource.
A great souvenir!
7 Jan 2009
When you tour a distillery at nine in the morning, then sample its product at ten, you are likely to well remember this visit--with a spin in your head. Actually, it's not the spin of drink but the spin of words as found on "The Whiskey Map of Scotland" that you will take home with you. It's a great souvenir!
I love these huge fold-out maps--this one is 40" long and 30" wide. They contain a surprising amount of information, plus for pictorial learners, that information is much easier to assimilate.
For example, the distillery I visited is Strathisla in Keith, which is part of the Whisky Trail of Speyside in the Highlands, including mountains, moors, and rivers. On the way to Strathisla, we stopped just to admire and photograph rolling moors for as far as the eye could eye in all directions. At the time we were there, heather was in full bloom. What a heady, glorious sight! You can see the pink blossoms at the bottom of the map cover, noting Scotland's three famous icons--heather (moors), tartan plaids, and scotch whisky.
Note: Strathisla is actually labeled the Strathisla-Glenlivet Distillery because this single malt is just one that contributes to the very popular blended whisky, Glenlivet. Its paragraph states that this distillery is Scotland's oldest operating one (1786) and exemplifies the old traditional method of many buildings and pagoda-type towers.
In addition to locating 128 distilleries and illustrations of over 30, the map also includes information about the history of scotch whiskey, an
explanation of the distillation process, and the four things that influence the final product: environment, peat, grain, and water.
What does one do with a map like this? Insert it in your bookshelf next to
Michael Jackson's Whiskey: The Definitive World Guide,
Whiskey (Eyewitness Companions),
Scotland: A Concise History, Revised Edition, How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It,
Scotland Magazine, and the like.
Or have the map framed and hang it near your bar as both an information tool and a reminder of your wonderful visit to Scotland and many lingerings over its lovely product--Scotch Whisky.
