Description
Part travelogue, part popular science, part love letter to Scotland’s most famous product, this book brings together landscape, geology, ecology, history, people and their whisky, whilst addressing the issue of peatlands and their role in climate change. The story of peat and its central role in the production and flavour of whisky is engagingly related through the author’s journey around Scotland and into its past – in ancient peatlands and bogs and the places where whisky has been made for centuries.
