Andrew Jefford - Peat Smoke and Spirit
Those who discover malt whisky quickly learn that the malts made on the Isle of Islay are some of the wildest and most characterful in the malt-whisky spectrum. In PEAT SMOKE AND SPIRIT, Islay's fascinating story is uncovered: from its history and stories of the many shipwrecks which litter its shores, to intimate descriptions of the beautiful wildlife, landscape and topography of the island.

| Description: | Despite Scotland's reputation of having bad weather and a lot of wind, which is occasionally true and mostly in the wintertime, Islay is an excellent island to discover by bike. The roads are mainly single track, the nature is overwhelming and wildlife is everywhere present. No wonder cycling on Islay is getting more and more popular. |
