Whisky Burn

Whisky Burn

Distilleries of Scotland by Vespa -
the Highlands and Islands

Whisky Burn is a book that will appeal to Scotch experts and novices alike.  Read it as an amusing and at times fascinating travel narrative, a useful reference book, or an invaluable guide to distilleries. Whisky Burn is the story of a journey - one man, one Vespa, one thousand miles (1,600km), a lot of distilleries, and a fair amount of rain.

Making of:

Published by Wittenborg University Press in 2015, Whisky Burn transformed itself from a whisky drinker’s pipe dream to a hardback book in a few short years.

First the planning, then contact with the distilleries, the shipping of the Vespa to Glasgow, and the trip round over forty distilleries in three weeks.  Then the writing, the re-writing, the proof reading and more proofreading, until printing day arrives.  The ‘whisky-glass’ pipe dream has become a book.
