The Whisky Muse: Scotch Whisky in Poem and Song
Robin Laing
This book is a collection of the best poems and songs, both old and new, on the subject of that great Scottish love, whisky. It is based on a one-man show created by Robin, and combines two of his passions – folk song and whisky. Additional information relevant to particular songs and poems, and other interesting tit-bits on the process of whisky making, are placed alongside humorous art by Bob Dewar, the illustrator for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. This collection would be the perfect thing for any fan of a wee dram.
