Around 1885, Alfred Barnard, secretary of *Harper’s Weekly Gazette*, set out to document the whisky-making process by visiting distilleries across Scotland, England, and Ireland. Accompanied by friends, he explored over 150 distilleries, capturing the essence of both renowned and lesser-known names that still resonate with whisky enthusiasts today. His reports combine technical insights into distillation with vivid accounts of his travels, rich in historical detail. This superbly illustrated facsimile edition features over 200 engravings, serving as a comprehensive guide to the origins of Scotland’s national drink while painting a lively picture of Victorian life and travel. The revised edition compiles all of Barnard’s writings on UK whisky distilleries, making it the definitive collection on the topic. New material includes visits to notable distilleries such as Pattison & Elder & Co., Glenfarclas-Glenlivet, and insights into blending Scotch whisky, among others. This edition not only preserves Barnard’s legacy but also enriches the reader’s understanding of whisky culture and history.
