A discovery tour through the world of whisky and Scotland, with an occasional detour. The journey starts in the attic of a stately home, back in 1974, and ends more than 30 years later in the Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside with its world-famous Quaich whisky bar. Along the way, the reader is taken on a variety of small by-roads that offer access to the fascinating world of whisky. With tongue-in-cheek humor, the author depicts how he has grown, slowly but steadily, from an amateur enthusiast into a professional whisky connoisseur. While being entertained, you will learn a lot about Scotland and its whiskies, whether you are making your first acquaintance or continuing a lifelong pursuit.
World famous Scottish whisky writer and presenter Charles MacLean wrote about The Road to Craigellachie, “A journey embracing 35 years of exploration into the pleasures of Scotch whisky and Scotland. Hans Offringa is a companionable, perceptive and well-informed guide, and his account is a pleasure to read.”
