There have been whisky maps before, but this new map is the best to date. In full color (with a wealth of distillery information on the reverse) the map gives a full view of the whisky producing regions of Scotland. James McEwan has redrawn the regional boundaries of these in an attempt to simplify this aspect of the industry. Jim"s unique notes are incorporated on the reverse along with a distillery directory, website addresses, cooperage notes, cask information, Landranger OS map references and some interesting distillery terms and a Highland distilling licence from 1793. So if your interest is purely academic, or that of an enthusiast and whisky lover, this new map will be essential for your bookshelt or library wall. For the first time the Speyside distilleries are incorporated into the body of the map and not as an inset. The new Campbeltown, Islay and Fife distilleries are featured for the first time.
