Independent Scotch

Unique. There is no other word to describe the relationship between distiller, producer and independent bottler. In this first ever account of independent bottlers the author looks a the history of how and why this anomaly arose; how an aged and rooted, bulk driven industry missed, at first, the change in consumer demand. Using his own business as an example, this book explores how independent bottlers operate and have helped to nurture a new engaged consumer base. With contributions from across the industry this book catalogues the lost and current independent bottling companies. Often in their own words a picture will be painted of family, and consumer driven enterprise; companies that strive to show Scotch whisky at the pinnacle of what it can achieve.
