Interleaved through these different narrative strands comes the story of  the whiskies themselves, traced from a distant past of bothies and  illegal stills to present-day legality and prosperity. The flavour of  each spirit is analysed and the differences between them teased out, as  are the stories of the notable men and women who have played such a  integral part in their creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943827681377,"sku":"9781472262226","price":11.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35766066.jpg?v=1755785513","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781472262226-whisky-island","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
