What's Your Latest Whisky Book Purchase?

[Lawrence]

The book on Glenfarclas arrived today and last week the Cutty Sark book arrived but I have not yet had the opportunity to go through it.

[Jolly Toper]

I enjoyed the 5th edition (1957) of what is now the SWA Questions and Answers'. I believe I'm getting the Cutty Sark book for the upcoming religous/commodity festival. Tell me more about the Glenfarclas book....Have yet to get the Ardmore book by Iain MacIlwain.

[Lawrence]

I've just had a quick glance and it seems to follow the theme of other commissioned books that have come out lately. Lots of good pictures and it covers the history of the distillerya dn the family so all in all a very nice book with some good detail ( as far as I can tell so far).

Malt Whisky Yearbook

I probably end up getting this every year

The Farc book is Ian Buxton - busy boy

[Pudge72]

Book gifts that I received for Christmas included '99 Drams of Whiskey' from my dad and his wife (along with Redbreast 12) and 'The World Atlas of Whisky' from my mom who knew I had been wanting to pick this up for months.

Not a Headache in a Gallon: Celebrating 200 Years of Cambus Distillery by Iain Budge.

[Jolly Toper]

Ooh you swine Lawrence, I've been chasing that book for ages- where did you get it?????

I've just finished Cutty Sark - The Making of a Whisky Brand edited by Ian Buxton with each chapter written by a different author. some chapters were stronger than others, I particularly liked the chapter about the history of the ship- an Airfix model was my pride, and the one about the artist James McBey who did the original artwork.

I'm currently trying Le Snob Whisky by John Lamond, I suspect I'm suffering fatigue from this type of format.

[Rogerdodger]

Just ordered David's Distilleries of Campbeltown. Look forward to it.

[Jolly Toper]

Lomond have 'Distinguished Distillereis' out it seems a book of photos from 40 distilleries, not seen one yet though.

I picked it up of ABE books, create a 'want' and when one comes up they will email you...

My latest acquisition is a copy of The Whisky Men by Gavin D. Smith. Mint condition.

[Jolly Toper]

Thanks Lawrence,

Whisky Men is a great book, I'd like to see more of the same.

[PMessinger]

I was given a copy of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2012 for Christmas. Wow there is a lot in this book.

I got the 2013...
And the 2013 Yearbook, and a book called "Bad Whisky - the scandal that created the world's most successful spirit"
