A little gem of scotch distilleries
This is the definitive book on the closed and mothballed distilleries in Scotland and the only one published so far. If you want to know the story of Glenugie or of the Cambeltown's distilleries, you will find them on this book! Each section start with the history of area (i.e. Northern Highlands), before detailing over about 1 page the history of each closed and mothballed distillery. The quality of the print is good and contain a very fair amount of old BW photographs. A very pleasant book and a must for any connoissour. The work done by B. Townsend is remarkable.
