Thoroughly recommended to whisky connoisseur and dabbler alike. - Birmingham Evening MailThere’s no better book about these whiskies … Andrew Jefford has written a compelling narrative that succeeds on every level. - Mid-Atlantic Brewing NewsIn Whisky Island, Islay’s fascinating story is uncovered, whilst the flavour of each spirit is analysed and the differences between them teased out, as are the stories of the notable men and women who have played such an integral part in their creation. - The WeekAbout The Author
