A Sense of Place

A journey around Scotland’s whisky

By: Dave Broom

Narrated by: Dave Broom

In this beautifully crafted narrative, award-winning writer Dave Broom examines Scotch whisky from the point of view of its terroir - the land, weather, history, craft and culture that feed and enhance the whisky itself. Travelling around his native Scotland and visiting distilleries from Islay and Harris to Orkney and Speyside, Dave explores the whiskies made there and the elements in their distilling, and locality, which make them what they are. Along the way he tells the story of whisky's history and considers what whisky is now, and where it is going.

With stunning specially commissioned photography by Christina Kernohan, A Sense of Place will enhance and deepen every whisky drinker's understanding of just what is in their glass.

Read by author, awesome. Missed seeing the referenced photos, will likely buy a hard copy. DB writes with tremendous heart for the topic. Almost shot a full dram thru my nose upon hearing that dog's name in DB's Glasgow accent. The ideas about people and place upon the whisky, marvelous. A great read; wee short, hoping for a sequel of sorts.
