        In Search of the Village Distilleries of Maramures

        A Romanian Odyssey

        by Ian Macilwain

        This photographic portrait of the Village fruit brandy distilleries of the remote inaccessible northernmost province of Romania has taken the author five years to complete. He first went to the neighbouring province of Transylvania in 1968 on a Honda 50. After a career in Psychiatry , he has specialised in the photography of Scottish malt whisky distilleries , producing several books, of which the best known is ‘Bottled History’.  He has found in Maramures a process remarkably similar to the family distilling tradition in Scotland which died out after 1820. The photographs capture the atmospheric interiors and the people who work in them.  The author tries to distil the essence of this deeply traditional place before it disappears for ever.

        The Lost Distilleries of Ireland.

        by Brian Townsend

        Scotch may now be the most popular whisky in the world, but over a century ago, it was Irish whisky which was most commonly drunk. Today, only three producing units exist: at Midleton, County Cork; Bushmills, County Antrim; and Cooley at Dundalk, County Louth. The author of this work has researched the lost distilleries of Ireland and details what happened to them. He relates the origins of distilling in Ireland - an Arabic hand-down to Irish monks; the links with Scotland; the wild years when illicit distilling was rampant and shebeens proliferated as corruption increased; the coming of legitimacy and temperance; the development of Coffey still (and its contribution to the ultimate sinking of the industry); the golden years; prohibition in the USA and the emergence of the Free State in 1922.;Each of the distilleries is listed and accompanied by archive photographs and etchings. The list includes: Bow Street; John's Lane; Thomas Street; Marrowbone Lane; Jones Road; and Phoenix Park - all in Dublin; Monasterevan, County Kildare; Tullamore, Brusna and Burr - all County Offaly; Nun's Island, Galway; Limerick, County Limerick; North Mall, Cork; Medleton, Glen and Bandon - all County Cork; Bishop's Water, Wexford; Dundalk, County Louth; Royal Irish, Avoniel and Irish, Belfast; Upper and Lower, Comber, County Down; Coleraine and Limavady, County Londonderry and Abbey Street and Waterside, Londonderry.

        The Whisky Barons

        by Allen. Andrews

        The success of today's whisky industry is largely due to the commercial drive and foresight of a select group of whisky merchants who took the business by storm in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This is the story of how Dewar, Buchanan, Walker, Bell and Mackie established their brands and kick-started the industry. The men had much in common: they were all Scots from humble beginnings, served long apprenticeships and ultimately set out on their own to build their companies. This book shows how they changed the face of the world of whisky by taking the industry by the scruff of the neck and creating many of the sales techniques and the actual business culture still in existence today.
