Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Whisky. First edition of this affectionate celebration of Scotch whisky, published after the industry had suffered a succession of reverses. Its slow recovery from the Pattisons scandal of 1899 had been interrupted by the First World War, Prohibition, and the Great Depression."A crusading journalist, literary publisher, novelist and playwright, Thomson was the epitome of a thrusting new class of Scottish intellectuals who emerged out of the ruins of the Great War" (The Scotsman, 17 August 2013). He founded the Porpoise Press in 1922 and adopted his pseudonym from one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Seven Men of Moideart.
