Description
“Wort, Worms and Washbacks – Memoirs from the Stillhouse” is an amusing collection of memories of John McDougall (one of Scotland’s best known whisky distillers) covering his time in the whisky industry. The book covers his time in the industry from 1963 to 1999, during which McDougall has worked in distilleries in Speyside, Ayrshire, Islay and Campbeltown, before setting up his own business in Kelso. The memoirs reveal the characters John has dealt with in the many differing places he has worked and portray a picture of the distillery shop floor, the stillroom and the mashroom, and the changes that have been made in them over the past 35 years.
