Einband leicht berieben und angeschmutzt, Kopfschnitt leicht fleckig, Bleistifteintrag auf Schmutztitel, Seiten minimal angebräunt. - Inhalt Vorwort Einleitung der Autorin Teil eins Die Welt des Single Malt Whisky Whisky, Teil von Schottlands Erbe Ein kleines Whisky-Wörterbuch Die Destillation von Malt Whisky Die Malt-Whisky-Regionen Schottlands Malt Whiskys aus aller Welt Single Malt Whisky genießen Teil zwei Das Single-Mak-Whisky-Verzeichnis Neue Brennereien, seltene Malts und Malt-Liköre Teil drei Anhang Glossar Whisky-Rezepte Single Mak Whisky probieren und kaufen Whisky als Investition Nützliche Adressen Register und Bildnachweise / Vorwort Nun hat sich also doch jemand die Zeit genommen und die Mühe gemacht, gegen den Mythos anzugehen, daß die Welt des Whiskys eine >Männerwelt< sei. Zwar gibt es viele Autorinnen, die über Whisky geschrieben haben und das auch weiterhin regelmäßig in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften tun. Soweit ich weiß, ist dieses Buch jedoch die erste eingehendere Abhandlung von einer Frau und als solche seit langem überfällig. Sie haben hier einen informativen Begleiter und ein erstklassiges Handbuch, das Sie zu Rate ziehen sollten, wenn Sie Ihren Lieblingswhisky kosten oder eine neue Marke ausprobieren. In punkto Geschmack sind Sie vielleicht nicht immer einer Meinung mit Helen Arthurs Einschätzungen und Kommentaren; zuweilen haben selbst wir beide freundschaftliche Meinungsverschiedenheiten, die wir dann bei einer weiteren Prüfung beizulegen suchen. Aber solche Meinungsverschiedenheiten mögen ruhig noch lange bestehen - es wäre ein trauriger Tag, an dem wir im Hinblick auf Geschmack uns alle einig sind. Die kleinen Unterschiede gehören nun einmal zu den Kostbarkeiten des großartigsten Getränks der Welt. Was dem Whisky seinen Charakter gibt, ist eine Frage, die wohl nie zufriedenstellend beantwortet werden kann, obwohl viele Theorien dazu aufgestellt wurden. Wir wissen aber, daß jeder einzelne Whisky unterschiedliche Arten von Genuß bietet, und es bleibt Ihnen überlassen, sich Ihre eigenen Gedanken dazu zu machen und zu einem eigenen Urteil zu kommen. Mit diesem Buch gibt Ihnen Helen Arthur einen Leitfaden an die Hand, mit dem Sie sich beim Genuß dieses Getränks orientieren können; Sie werden verzaubert sein vom Reiz der Entdeckung und ganz neuer sinnlicher Erfahrungen, von deren Existenz Sie bislang nicht einmal etwas ahnten. Während Helen hofft, daß Sie bei der Lektüre dieses Buches nicht nur die Traditionen und handwerklichen Fertigkeiten der Whisky-Herstellung würdigen, sondern auch ein wenig von dem damit verbundenen Zauber erfahren, möchte ich Sie gern an die große Sorgfalt erinnern, mit der dieses Wissen über Generationen weitergegeben wurde.

1914182974Stirling: Eneas Mackay & Inverness: Wiliam Mackay & Son 1914. First edition in book form rare with the dust jacket. Macdonald was a long-serving excise officer who spent much of his career in the Scottish Highlands. The anecdotes in the chapter "Smuggling Stories and Detections" include "An Artful Abriachan Woman" "Foulis Smuggler and Daughter Baffle Officer" and "'Good Pious Men' as Smugglers". Although Macdonald had a sharp eye for a sensational story he had a stony view of smuggling which he considered "a curse to the individual and the community". Much of this work was first read before the Gaelic Society of Inverness during the late 1880s at a time when whisky smuggling was resurgent in the north of Scotland. It was subsequently printed in the society's paper and later as a series of articles in The Highlander and Celtic Magazine. This copy is likely from a later issue. Other examples of the first edition can be found with gilt lettering on the spine front cover and top edge and with photographic plates expenses which were presumably dropped for later issues. Variants in the dust jacket also exist; some examples are without the Celtic knot illustration on the front cover which is present here. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine and front cover lettered in dark blue. With dust jacket. Spine faintly sunned a few gentle bumps to edges of covers small lump beneath cloth on front cover; jacket unclipped sunned and faintly soiled spine toned edges chipped and with a few short closed tears one longer at foot of rear panel: a very good copy in like jacket. hardcover
