About this listen

In this beautifully crafted narrative, award-winning writer Dave Broom examines Scotch whisky from the point of view of its terroir—the land, weather, history, craft and culture that feed and enhance the whisky itself. Travelling around his native Scotland and visiting distilleries from Islay and Harris to Orkney and Speyside, Dave explores the whiskies made there and the elements in their distilling, and locality, which make them what they are. Along the way he tells the story of whisky's history and considers what whisky is now and where it is going.

A Sense of Place will enhance and deepen every whisky drinker's understanding of just what is in their glass.

Gorgeously evocative, informative and moving.

Dave Broom’s calming Glasweigen accent is the perfect voice to accompany this superb journey through the people and places in Scotland. An in depth look at the characters and settings that create our favourite drink: scotch whisky. This book is charming, beautifully descriptive and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking to find out more about whisky.
