Alfred Barnard
pubblicato da
Aaron Barker Publishing
In 1885, Alfred Barnard was charged with the task of visiting and reporting on every active whisky distillery throughout Scotland, Ireland and England. It took him two exhaustive years. In this book you will see the distilleries through his eyes. His detailed descriptions of every step in the distilling process is work that remains unparalleled to this day. But that's only part of the story. As he and his companions traveled the countryside, he fell in love with Scotland and all its grandeur as well as the lush landscapes of Ireland. As you read through this book - presented as an ebook for the very first time - you'll fall in love, as well. Part technical document and part travelogue, you're almost getting two books in one intertwined volume. Granted, this text lacks the visual beauty and splendor of the fine print editions, but the words and images stand up on their own and will transport you to a Victorian adventure that was, is and always will be one of a kind. The book is now portable, easily readable and searchable.
This edition does not contain the additional writings of Alfred Barnard that are found in recent print editions, only the text and images of his original book. There are two additional chapters that do pull from the other writings included that give added detail to Glenglassaugh and Glenfarclas.
