Raw Spirit: In Search of the Perfect Dram

As a native of Scotland, bestselling author Iain Banks has decided to undertake a tour of the distilleries of his homeland in a bid to uncover the unique spirit of the single malt. Visiting some of the world's most famous distilleries and also some of its smallest and most obscure ones, Banks embarks on a journey of discovery which educates him about the places, people and products surrounding the centuries-old tradition of whisky production. Using various modes of transport - ferries to the islands, cars across the highlands, even bicycles between bus-stops - Banks' tour of Scotland combines history, literature and landscape in an entertaining and informative account of an exploration in which the arrival is by no means the most important part of the journey.

    If you're Scottish but don't like whisky, read this anyway. If you're not Scottish but love whisky,read this now. And if you're Scottish AND love whisky, what are you waiting for? In fact if your Grannie's best friends cousin once had a dram, read this book. This book teaches you about whisky, about Scotland and even about Iain Banks himself.
