A Dark History of Whisky
"Mystery and true crime writer Dobbs offers a delightful, comprehensive overview of the turbulent legacy of whiskey and whisky, starting with the scoop on that pesky e... an entertaining and edifying look at the mayhem inspired by 'the wonderful golden liquid.'" — Publishers Weekly
The book you hold in your hands is not a standard whisky book. Of course, it does contain information that can be found in countless other books on the subject, such as tasting notes, distillery histories and the general development of the golden liquid we all adore. A whisky book that did not contain such information would be odd indeed, but the emphasis in the following narrative is very much on the darker history of the drink. Whisky noir, if you please.
Within these pages can be found cannibals, ghouls and ghosts - unlikely tales that all have one thing in common; whisky. Not just whisky, though, for we are delving deep into the amber gold and turning over a history that has never been told. Until now.
Interspersed with whisky quotes, some well-known, other’s more obscure, with this book to hand the reader will never be without an interesting snippet of conversation when sharing a whisky with friends.
