Illicit Scotch
From dust jacket :
“ILLICIT SCOTCH is a book which no patriotic Scot or devotee of Scotch whisky can afford to miss. It is a book to read, to re-read and to keep. Besides being an authoritative history of illicit distillation and whisky smuggling from 1505 to the present day, it distils the very spirit of Scotia and its people through a wonderful collection of anecdotes - both humorous and macabre - in which the sturdy independence and ingenuity of the Highlander is readily apparent.”

This is retired excise officer S W Sillett’s fascinating work into illicit distillation, the smugglers themselves, the excise officers pursuing them and the places that it was happening within the history of Scotland.
