Does anyone have a copy of Barnard's book "Whisky Distillieries of the UK" they would be willing to sell?

Hi George

In case you didn't know, a new reprint of Barnard has just been published. Available through www.amazon.de FAIK, or contact Jens Sagemann (jsagemann@UNI-BREMEN.DE) for more details.

Also, there are two on-going and linked 'Barnard on-line' projects: The Scottish distilleries on www.whiskymania.de and the Irish distilleries on www.celticmalts.com/journal.htm

Slainte, Lex

Lex, Thanks a lot for this information and no I didn't know about any of this. This is why the forum is a great thing. Brings us "whisky" people together.

If you're looking for out-of-print books, try Bookfinder at http://www.bookfinder.com/

I found "The Whiskey Distillers of Scotland", from 1887 for $60 there.

On-line retailers like Amazon.com use Bookfinder to search for used books, but they usually add 60-70% to the Bookfinder price

Regards,

Martin Behre

Hi all,

I don't know the price of the reprint of Barnard's book elsewhere on the web, but I received my copy today from www.proxis.be at the incredible price of 325 Belgian franks, that is about 5 British pounds (no extra mail charges).

Dear Sir,

Just for now I do no wish to sell it, but I am looking for an estimation of its value.
I have not seen it in any auction in Christies or on bookfinder.com

I haver received the most recent reproduction of Barnards book and it is very nice. I is nicely bound and the printing is well done from my initial observation. Other letters in the FORUM will tell you how to get the book which is a must for whisky lovers and those with "Scottish" interests.

My brother's new screenplay calls for an allusion to an extremely rare whisky that online "those in the know" or "those in the $" would ever be able to put there hands on. Anyone have a few examples that we could reference?

How about a "Springbank 1919"? I saw a bottle of this in Fortnum & Mason (London) a few years ago with a price tag of £8000. There is a bit more of a story connected to it as it was stolen later from its re-enforced glass case, but it turned out the bottle on display in the store contained only vinegar or something similar .... the bottles with real Springbank were well secure!

Cheers, Lex
