With a foreword by Charles MacLean MBE, the celebrated 'world authority' on whisky

The Whisky World Tour takes you beyond the glass to discover 52 of the very best whisky distilleries open to the public, around the globe. Discover their unique stories and histories from the comfort of home, along with bottle recommendations, too.

Each stop along the way is a window into the world of whisky, so settle in, pour a dram, and allow yourself to be taken on this grand and spirited journey.
