Raw Spirit

[zotz]

I've finished this now. It was very good (and no, the verdict's not at all influenced by the very nice whisky I drank while reading it). The bits about whisky and distilleries are very interesting, but not as good as the digressions, covering wine, restaurants, motorbikes, cars (repeatedly), Iraq (repeatedly) and Highland Games ("some thick-necked twat in a skirt trying to outwit a telegraph pole").

Recommended.

glad it was good - I got it for my Dad for his birthday. He has a fondness for Scotch and politics so I imagine it'll go down well.

Guess so. One thought, though : I did wish I'd followed the trips on a roadmap while reading it, though, and I didn't have one to hand. Has he started it yet, or is there still time to warn him?

I really want to read it: and your consuming-the-product-whilst-reading-about-it strategy sounds very wise indeed. (Why did I start thinking about 'Watership Down' having typed that?)
