If you like a dram of the holy water, you’ll love this book. Rachel says that whisky in Scotland is like heat in Australia – it’s everywhere. She’s obviously never been for a swim in Esperance, but we’ll give her a bit of licence. She also says that whisky is to Scotland like food is to the Mediterranean – which has really made me think about the Mediterranean diet, and how I might tweak it. This is a real romp through the world of Scotch whisky, its history and its myths. Rachel travelled the length and breadth of Scotland visiting the ubiquitous distilleries to find out how all the different whiskies are made, drunk, and even cooked with. Highly recommended, a book as full of spirit as the drink itself, you’ll laugh and learn together.
