The Manufacture of Whisky and Plain Spirit. (1913) A classic reference book by J A Nettleton, a late Victorian figure at least as important in his day as Alfred Barnard but today almost completely forgotten - except by real whisky aficionados. Time to bring him back? This complete edition of his life's work and accumulated knowledge is over 600 pages long and full of wonderful period technical detail so a hefty reprint. STOP PRESS: We've got ourselves a copy of this very rare and utterly fascinating book and are costing the reprint now, so email us if you are interested in reserving a copy.
