The Whisky Affair : a single malt fuelled novel

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-25

The Whisky Affair is not your usual whisky book : it’s not going to provide you with a complete A-Z guide of all the Scottish/Irish/Japanese/WhateverWhiskyProducingCountry distilleries nor will it tell you all about the great whisky history through dates, facts & figures. The Whisky Affair is more of an entertaining easy-to-read spirited novel immersing its reader in a world of love, murder, Machiavellian plots and… …

thewhiskylady - 2015-04-19

I like to think that Whisky is actually …
