Scottish Whisky Without Color Without Filter - by Peter Kjaer and Lars Gregersen

Item no.: 22227865387-501

Whiskybog: Scotch whisky - without color, without filterThe book is written in Danish by Peter Kjær and Lars Gregersen. The reader's review has just arrived: "Among the many whisky books, this one stands out for its Danish origin, quality and thoroughness. In addition, the book's primary focus is on the circumstances of production, distribution and enjoyment rather than being a guide to the individual whiskies. The book is very well written and inviting. In addition, it covers its subject very well, explaining the many facets of the subject in a comprehensive and generally understandable way. The many interviews are also well integrated into the overall picture." Authors: Peter Kjær and Lars Gregersen Photographer: Søren Rasch JensenAnother whiskybog - why? With this new book, we would like to give you a nuanced picture of the world of Scotch whisky in 2016. We want to address both those who are new to Scotch whisky enjoyment and hopefully also those who already have a good knowledge. Behind the picturesque facades of the distilleries, there is a lot going on that the ordinary consumer does not necessarily know. The full truth may never be revealed, but over the years we have come across quite a few exciting stories that we would like to share with you. We will also feature portraits and interviews with some of the industry's personalities who have contributed to many a good dram over the years and who are not afraid to speak their mind. Cheers, Lars, Søren and Peter

Do you have a taste for good whisky - and good stories? The book "Dansk Whisky" - is about the Danish whisky producers, who are currently experiencing strong growth and a strong tailwind. Yes, gin is all the rage right now, but that doesn't change the fact that whisky is and will remain the king of spirits, simply because it takes a minimum of three years to make and requires a lot of care and love in the process. Danish whisky producers understand this. Hopefully, the readers of the book understand it too... The project is in full swing and we visit the wonderful, funny and quirky existences that work hard to cask age the liquid joy of life that good whisky can be. Not to create a taste guide to Danish whisky, but to tell the stories of the people behind this small but powerful Danish entrepreneurial adventure. Hopefully, the book will inspire you to visit the many enthusiasts around the country. They have both good stories and good whisky to offer. The book is designed and conceptualized at Gren&Lund, the stories are written by journalist Per Gregersen and published by Byens Forlag. So if you usually only wish for black socks and well-behaved children for Christmas, you might want to reserve a place under the tree now. Just a thought.

Ølelskerens guide til Skotland - by Torben Mathews

Item no.: 22227865387-500

A deft examination of the distinctiveness of the Scots, from the monsters (Nessie and Haggis) to the dress and language. A solid introduction to the history and current state of beer, breweries and pubs. A guide to what to drink and the best pubs to drink it in, accompanied by beer recipes along the way. The book is written by Torben Stephen Mathews, a native Englishman with a love of languages, football and beer. He has a broad knowledge of the beer universe thanks to countless study trips over the past 20 years in preparation for themed lectures, which have also resulted in two books on beer and food and a TV series focusing on the new Danish microbreweries. Author's foreword "This book is intended as a solid introduction to Scottish brewing and an informal guide for beer lovers and epicureans, such as myself, to beery and culinary experiences with a focus on good pubs, good breweries and their products, liberally spiced with interesting stops along the way and anecdotes from personal experiences. Some will probably think that seriousness is in short supply, but a "Trip to..." was never intended - how to get there, where to change money, which side of the road to drive on, what "my kitchen sink is blocked" is called in Scottish and the opening hours of museums (useful because it rains a lot!), all this is left to the reader and other works. Others will certainly miss in-depth analysis of the many social problems in this small country. Again, I'm skating elegantly around this, because it's not the domain of this book. However, hopefully you will find inspiration for nationwide odysseys and beer crawls and reasons to smile every now and then while crawling, or to let out satisfied grunts while tasting, here. Haa a guid journey - god tur!"
